A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
See, some people think forcible sterilization is never acceptable, and yet we have multiple comments from people that didn't read the study asking if the authors thought of something.
Maybe you'd know if you were literate.
You can have your balls back if you do your homework.
Sure, that it wasn't the smell of the paint, that drove the insects away?
If you look at the study you can see that they also had a treatment of black stripes on black cows to control for just that:
The cows were assigned to treatments using a 3 × 3 Latin-square design. The treatments consisted of black-and-white painted stripes (B&W), black painted stripes (B), and no stripes (CONT) as a control (Fig 1).

Interesting. A while ago, I read that zebra stripes were meant to confuse predators. Basically, the idea was that when they ran as a herd, their stripes made it difficult to tell where one zebra ended and the other began. I wonder if that's considered bunk now or if this is supposed to be an additional benefit.
Can't wait to see this in British fields whenever I venture outside the basement!
Awesome. Now narrow down the mechanism with further research.
Can someone forward this to Trump's team
