Students' Summer Science Project Shows Bait and Switch in the Fish Department | |
They found that one-fourth of the fish samples with identifiable DNA were mislabeled. Quote:
Their field technique was simple, Ms. Stoeckle said. “We ate a lot of sushi.”
Or, as Dr. Stoeckle put it, “It involved shopping and eating, in which they were already fluent.”
| The study was done with the assistance of a project called the Fish Barcode of Life (aka Fish-BOL  ) at the University of Guelph in Canada. Quote: | Jesse H. Ausubel of Rockefeller University said
In a way, Dr. Ausubel said, their experiment is a return to an earlier era of scientific inquiry. “Three hundred years ago, science was less professionalized,” he said, and contributions were made by interested amateurs. “Perhaps the wheel is turning again where more people can participate.”
