Great article, but I’m surprised it didn’t end with them saying they planned to follow up with the indigenous people and use their knowledge to help fill in the gaps…
Yet another example of western science thinking we have to reinvent the wheel - the person they interviewed said that all these “new” species were already known to the locals. Obviously we just needed to ask.
Pretty sure this is “Java moss.” It grows easily but can struggle with getting algae all caught up in it. Definitely a great/popular plant, almost impossible to kill all the way.
From the article:
“The researchers trained 14 sighted and 12 blind people for between two and three hours twice a week over 10 weeks. They started by teaching participants to produce mouth clicks, then trained them on three tasks. The first two involved judging the size or orientation of objects. The third involved navigating virtual mazes, which participants moved through with the help of simulated click-plus-echo sounds tied to their positions.”
Clint’s Reptiles: He does great videos covering phylogeny as well as pet scores for individual species.
Professor Dave Explains: A huge variety of content explaining science, my favorites so far are on phylogeny.
Mothlight Media: Videos on evolution of modern and extinct species. One of my favorites!!
Others mentioned PBS Eons, you would most definitely like it.
