Comment on Everything has a bit of overlap
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agoI’ve never read through the wikipedia article, and wanted to see if it mentioned my favorite fact: cockroaches perform better when observed by other cockroaches. IT DID! So cool!
…
and then it said the classical psychology mood killer: no evidence found when the experiment was replicated.

Look, you could give me a multi-million dollar grant and I will wouldn’t want to work with cockroaches, lol. (But then again, that’s what grad students are for…)

For me, that’s the case with basically every animal, buuuuuuuuut… That’s what gloves and secure containers are for in lab work. I am going to bet they never had those roaches ‘free’ at any time. Having them in one secure container that is then attached to another and a panel between them removed would work fine with me.
