Lab Notes: Crowd wisdom, spiky critters and more
Today on Lab notes, our regular look at science in the news, we're talking about the wisdom of crowds, spiky critters and subway mosquitos.
Protesters gather for a rally outside the State Capitol in Lansing, Mich., Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2012. The crowd is protesting right-to-work legislation passed last week. Michigan could become the 24th state with a right-to-work law next week. Rules required a five-day wait before the House and Senate vote on each other's bills; lawmakers are scheduled to reconvene Tuesday and Gov. Snyder has pledged to sign the bills into law.
