SUMMARY:Tardigrades in Maine
DESCRIPTION:Everybody knows about poppa bear\, momma bear\, and baby bear\,
  but do you know about water bears? Join Dr. Emma Perry at the Wilson Muse
 um’s Hutchins Education Center in Castine on Friday July 7 at 3 p.m. as 
 she discusses her research on tardigrades (microscopic invertebrate organi
 sms\, also known as water bears)\, both terrestrial and marine species\, w
 hich she has found throughout Maine. Perry will also talk about the tardig
 rade’s ability to survive the extremes of earth and the vacuum of space\
 , and their ability to lay dormant for years\, to be brought back to life 
 with a single drop of water. They are found all across the globe\, and the
  first tardigrade found on this continent was collected in New Gloucester\
 , Maine more than a century ago.\n\nDr. Emma Perry completed her undergrad
 uate degree in Zoology at Exeter University\, Britain\, where she was born
  and raised. She took her Ph.D. in Biology at The University of South Flor
 ida. Since then Perry has become more generally interested in the biology 
 and systematics of lesser known marine invertebrates\, such as tardigrades
 . As a professor at Unity College\, she\, and her students\, have been res
 earching tardigrades all across Maine.\n\nThis program is open to the publ
 ic and free of charge. For more information contact the Wilson Museum at 2
 07-326-9247 or www.wilsonmuseum.org.
