Scientists on Thursday published a paper identifying and naming the worm, which they said belonged to a previously-unidentified species.

I read woman instead of worm at first. It makes the headline a lot funnier.
i think you spelled “terrifying” wrong
I did as well and could not figure out why TF this wasn’t the biggest story in the history of stories
Me too! - Imagine this being the first comment. Hilarious!
I was wondering what the hell was happening in that lab?
The spice must flow
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
I remember this episode of the X-Files…
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Didn’t any of these scientists watch “The Thing”?
This is awesome but also somewhat concerning

How is that possible? I thought freezing caused cell membranes to tear apart.
That is very species dependent.
Some cold adapted species use various mechanisms to ensure that they can survive being frozen without that occurring.
One common answer is a form of natural antifreeze, preventing the crystallization from occurring where it would cause that kind of damage.

Then some deadly pathogen with this property could be buried in the ice, too. Lovely.
I’m getting x-file vibes and it’s never a good thing
Some pretty cool stuff
