Please no more eerie glowing gels…..

Just found this (via BoingBoing)… a nice plea to the PR department to stop adding strange coloured lights to the back grounds of pictures of scientists… (and also to stop posing scientists with big bottles of (clearly fake) coloured liquids in the background.

Circus ants…. (or what happens when biologists have too much time on their hands)

Just found a great story from a group trying to work out how ants know how far they’ve gone… It seams they do this by counting the number of steps they’ve taken. How do you test this? If you glue little stilts to their legs to make them longer they end up overshooting their destination… I feel kind of sorry for the student who had to do the gluing.
