A rare #nature paper with negative results: "No evidence for magnetic field effects on the behaviour of Drosophila"
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06397-7 Lots of hard work over a span of six years, large sample size (= number of fruitflies) and rigorous #stats Debunking science is hard work - this paper is very well done. #science #fruitflies #drosophila

No evidence for magnetic field effects on the behaviour of Drosophila - Nature
Following testing of magnetic field effects on 97,658 flies moving in a two-arm maze and on 10,960 flies performing spontaneous escape behaviour (negative geotaxis), no evidence was found for magnetically sensitive behaviour in Drosophila.Nature
