BigField GEG Tech's insight:
An leech smashes the record of frost-resistance. Ozobranchus jantseanus can survive until 24h in liquid nitrogen (-196°C) or to −90°C for up to 32 months. Amazing! This discovery will prove useful for future studies in cryogenic field.

BigField GEG Tech's insight:
New twist about the study of Selerani labs which demonstrated a high toxicity of a GMO. “Food and Chemical Toxicology” who has published the data asked Gilles Seralini to retract the paper. This request will certainly arouse a lot of reactions and various interpretations!
