Bee Researcher wins Oz Science Prize
A bee researcher who used the insect's precision flying systems to overhaul robotic aircraft navigation has won the $300,000 Prime Minister's Prize for Science.
Australian National University Professor Mandyam Veerambudi Srinivasan is working with the US Army and NASA to design tiny craft based on his research of bees' brains that could be used to explore Mars and reduce danger for soldiers on the battlefield.
