Where to find the best whale snot collecting tool? Or a device to buzz spider webs that simulates different prey? Need to standardize cow poop volume for attracting dung beetles? Amazon has it covered. Scientists rock social media once again with creative zest. They are posting reviews of research equipment ordered from Amazon. But it isn’t official gear, it’s innovative repurposing of everyday items commonly used for more mundane tasks.
