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

Me too! - Imagine this being the first comment. Hilarious!
I was wondering what the hell was happening in that lab?
Didn’t any of these scientists watch “The Thing”?
People stationed on antarctica always watch The Thing the first night as a matter of tradition. We thought it was a hazing ritual. It’s actually a warning…
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
The spice must flow
I’m getting x-file vibes and it’s never a good thing
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.
