  • The best science podcast yet!

    Super, super engaging show! It perfectly balances science and comedy and makes the deep sea understandable without simplifying things. Plus, I love how they always get interesting guests (like artists) for new perspectives. As a marine biologist, I recommend it to anyone that’s a fan of the ocean!

Q: How do they reproduce?
Classically, forams will have an alternating life cycle where they have a sexual generation... and an asexual generation.
PRESSURISED: 065 – Giant Testate Protists with Professor Andrew Gooday
Q: Do we know what the lifespan is?
I think a few years maybe. The remarkable thing was that all three grew together at the same time.
PRESSURISED: 065 – Giant Testate Protists with Professor Andrew Gooday
Q: How do we preserve them? Do we dry them? Do we preserve them in alcohol?
We usually preserve them in formalin. We can also dry them. Many of them are robust enough to dry.
