And now for some cow-based science
Ben Seleb, then at the Georgia Institute of Technology, had seen clusters of these steps on a trip through the Swiss countryside. Now a postdoctoral engineer at Rockefeller University in New York, he suspected the humble cow deserved more credit. “There has been increasing research in animals creating neat patterns in nature, from honeycombs to spider webs. It makes sense to me that cows can do it too,” Seleb said. “So I took it upon myself to defend the cows’ agency.”
