this is fascinating, but I’m absolutely PETRIFIED of bees (and wasps, and hornets). I don’t know if I could do that, even if I tried.
Susana Soares’s design work is as fascinating as the science behind it:
Scientific research has demonstrated that bees have an extraordinarily acute sense of smell and can be trained to perform health checks by detecting a specific odour in peoples’ breath.
The project consists in a series of alternative diagnostic tools that use bees to diagnose accurately at an early stage of a vast variety of diseases.
Could this revolutionise medicine as we know it?
Oh gosh, I don’t know about this. I just feel like someone’s going to end up with a bee in her windpipe.
