next time you feel #pointless in whatever it is you do, remember that #pigeons were able to identify #breast #cancer as accurately as humans - who were 10 #radiologists (5 experienced #mammographers and 5 #senior-level #radiology #residents), so these weren't random untrained people. These were #experts.
