A snot-harvesting drone could help researchers study whales
Joyce Park stashed this in Science
Stashed in: Whales!, Science!, Drones, Whales, Drones!, the new, yeah, science!
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
Drones can lurk above whales and catch the spray from their blowholes for later research.
Is there a benefit to catching it as spray rather than land on the whale blowhole for epidermal collecting?
That title has everything!
I had never heard the phrase "snot harvesting" before.
Same concept, but for human babies: Nosefrita the Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator

There's a lot of money in cleaning things.
