Some students in Denmark did a school experiment and found cress growing near wi-fi routers went brown. Cue hysteria …

You may have seen in the Daily Mail on Monday (well, you MAY read the Daily Mail, who am I to judge?) the headline "Whats wifi doing to us? Experiment finds that shrubs die when placed next to wireless routers".
Really? This is a bit worrying if so. What shrubs? Well, read a bit further down and the answer may surprise you: cress. I didnt realise cress was a shrub, but you live and learn eh?
The girls stayed within the scope of their knowledge, skilfully implemented and developed a very elegant experiment I sincerely hope that they spend their future professional life in researching, because I definitely think they have a natural aptitude for it.
