How Did You Come Across This Micro Organism?

i really want to hear more about your work. This actually got started when i was a tiager in high school. Just after sputni, the national science foundation was authorized to go out and gather up promising young kids who enterst id the science. And i was one of those. I read about these micro organism,. can survive complete hydration when i was 15 years old. And went out and found some of em in my summer boot camp in a forisf and sure enough, you can dry em out. That's amazing. It seems like your work calls that into question. So i really, now, i really want to hearing more about it.
