There's always a better way

Science is about sharing, and simplifying. Many scientists meet at conferences to talk about results of their work and about their methods for getting them. One of the most satisfying things for me is to find out that someone has devised an easier or better way to accomplish a task. For instance, in determining which type of larval parasitoids are hiding out in the body cavity of a really small insect. You could wait for them to emerge, spending weeks keeping the host insect alive and fed. Or, with the right instruction you could simply cut them open and look within days of collecting them. What a time saver!

So, in the spirit of this, how many of you have been tying your shoes wrong? Watch the video below to find out.
