The label “quantum Biologist” has only just been coined. This is a very readable article that helps show where…
Our co-editor Antonio Nafarrate has recently written these remarks
Following the 2016 Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN) Conference on “Animal Navigation”, Dr. Painter claims that after some 50 years of work, the Magnetic “mechanism is not fully understood”.

These ‘vocalisations’ are not language, but more like “come in No.9 I want to communicate with you”. We still believe that Dolphins actually communicate telepathically. If…
