As one researcher cautiously noted in a landmark study of a newly identified bee signal
How do you fill a whole paragraph with a quote from a study but not link to the study, or or include the title, journal, or author?

In the mid-2000s, Seeley convinced a computer engineer who was intrigued by the similarities between bee swarms and driverless cars [...] After two painstaking years, the algorithm finally worked:
WHO? WHERE? WHAT?

I am sick to the back teeth of the wealthy parts of the media (Noema is hiring an editor at $110-160k for 5 years experience, which is pretty generous) pumping out content while short-changing their readers. Daily news outlets are constantly writing stories about court cases without ever citing the names of the cases, and gatekeeping their access to public documents for an easy buck. While I greatly enjoyed this article, I'm also mystified by the decision of the author or the editors to withhold germane information that would profit the reader.
>Frisch was right to worry. When he finally went public, many scientists dismissed his research and argued that insects with such tiny brains were incapable of complex communication. The American biologist Adrian Wenner launched a challenge to Frisch’s theory, arguing that bees locate foods solely by odors, a theory that was subsequently proved wrong, although odors are important signals for bees. Eventually, Frisch’s results were definitively and independently validated, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1973.
The Nobel committee called the dismissal of Frisch’s novel ideas “shameless vanity”
And he discovered this with just a camera and computer vision/ML!
