ONE GOOD READ: Scientists ‘transplant memories’ between sea snails via injection
If you ever wished you could read your co-workers’ minds or share an idea, you need to catch this article from the Guardian. (Also, how can you pass up an article about sea snails?) The writer says: “Science may never know what wistful memories play on the mind of the California sea hare, a foot-long hermaphrodite marine snail, as it munches on algae in the shallow tide pools of the Pacific coast. But in a new study, researchers claim to have made headway in understanding the simplest kind of memory a mollusc might form, and, with a swift injection, managed to transfer such a memory from one sea snail to another.” It sounds like it may take a while for this breakthrough or any real use to develop. But it’s out there. Until then we’ll have to rely on good communication and personality testing to help us out.
