RE: Interesting ways to defy death

Cool writing @aboutcoolscience I didn't know the story about Veronica Saraiva Failho and she surely had a curious mind since her childhood. Not many kids would found excitement being near rotten meat, but there are always things to observe and learn.

the infectivity decreases exponentially going deep into the soil rather than moving away horizontally from the carcass

I wonder how many generations of beetles were necessary for them to adopt a behavior that could take advantage of that fact?

Luckily for us, people are attracted/fascinated by weird things otherwise we would not have so much progress in science
