Fluorescence Is Not COVID
There are a few research groups kind of exploring with different groups of animals but it's not COVID right? It's not like a bunch of different labs are trying to get grants to study this right now or feeling like we need to figure it out right away. Yeah I mean is there any sense that maybe it's a problem that we're researching something just because it looks cool and pretty on the internet?Yeah so that's actually something I think a lot about as a science journalist. When I'm looking for studies to cover it's a lot easier to get attention for a story that has a really cool visual element or is about something really surprising.
