Jim,

I am glad you try to defuse my questions with humor. Obviously, neither one

of us take this study seriously.  But I still curious as to why you think

this study has anything to do with sensing radiation.  If you blow ozone on

the woodlice and they respond, what does this have to do with ionizing

radiation?  "How" is very relevant to the experiment.

"How" is irrelevant to the experiment/results.



Still don't read the paper! Just like papers that show

preventing/eliminating tumors.



Norm Cohen wannabe? :-)  or going for NCRP!?
