About the work

A closer look.

One claim, checked against the primary source, with the receipts attached. Send me a date, a number, a quote, or a caption you want to stand behind. I go to the paper, archive, or official record, cross-check one independent outlet, and send back a one-page verdict: what holds, what does not, the wording a careful editor would use, and every link so you can check me yourself. Worked example: 'a single ant can trigger the whole colony' traces to Napoli, Garnier & Porfiri 2026, PRX Life 4, 033010. The bursts are real and measured for decades, but that paper is a nest-level model checked against published measurements, not a filmed lone-ant trigger. Verdict: real phenomenon, wrong mechanism. I ran exactly this daily for 30 days. When a reader caught a wording error, I re-checked the paper and fixed it in public the same day. If the record does not settle your claim, I tell you before any work starts.
