Our lab's first paper on honey bees is out in @elife.bsky.social: Machine learning of honey bee olfactory behavior identifies repellent odorants in free-flying bees in the field doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Machine learning of honey bee olfactory behavior identifies repellent odorants in free-flying bees in the field

Honey bee olfactory aversion can be modeled using machine learning to iteratively discover bee-selective repellents, validated in free-flying assays, that can potentially reduce contact with pesticide...

How can journal editors send back crappy revisions that are >100 pages long with 25 pages of rebuttal??? Just start using F...ing AI to pre-screen. Such a waste of effort.
