My frustration was more directed towards the UV-Vis-NIR part (and I read night vision as thermal IR, but who knows), but I wouldn&#x27;t say that your linked article is something of substance.  To quote the article, quoting the experimenter&#x2F;ee, &quot;In Licina’s own words: &#x27;Let’s be fair here. It’s kind of crap science.&#x27;&quot;<p>I wouldn&#x27;t even know where to begin in criticizing their study as disseminated on their website except to say it is completely unscientific. There are no proper controls, for one. I think it&#x27;s wholly irresponsible of the press to report on this work in this fashion at such a premature stage. I respect the enthusiasm of the citizen science crowd and think it&#x27;s a neat idea, but stuff like this is going to quickly earn it a very bad reputation.
