Lobster or crabs don't feel pain? Think again!!

Lobster or crabs don't feel pain? Think again!!

'In another experiment Elwood investigated whether hermit crabs could make motivational trade-offs as a result of pain. They presented Pagurus bernhardus crabs with two types of shell, one of which the animals are known to prefer, and gave some of the animals small electric shocks when they were inside these new homes.

When these crabs were later presented with a new shell they could move into, the shocked crabs were more likely to take up this offer, and they did so more quickly.'

I think people should sign this just to ensure that enough pressure and fuzz is created so the British gov will have to inform the public about its actions. I don't think journalism about potential dodgy parts of the government are a terroristic threat and this clearly reeks like overuse of state power.

Interesting take on charity and helping out the poor. Instead of NGO deciding what the money should be spend on you actually let the receivers decide. First impressions seems very positive imho!

The Serengeti Lion
Enter the world of the Vumbi pride. The lions strut and grimace, bare their teeth. One drapes a paw indolently, another nuzzles.

About me

I am a Lead Data Scientist at Microsoft in the World-Wide Data Insights CTO office focusing on cloud solutions for the Internet-of-Things, Big Data, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning. I obtained my PhD at the University of Cambridge specialising in Big Data Biology while being based at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL).

In my previous "academic life", I was working in Ewan Birney's research group. My main subject was understanding non-coding variation using genome-wide molecular assays, like FAIRE and CTCF, onto Human cell line populations. Another research interest was identification of whole-body phenotypes in Human MRI scans using Machine Learning techniques.

Furthermore, I'm the co-founder of Rijschoolvergelijker. The largest driving school comparison website in the Netherlands with European ambitions.
