How Turtle Navigation Reveals Hidden Risks of Wireless Radiation

Scientists studying sea turtle navigation made a discovery that reveals something profound about how wireless radiation affects biological systems. New research on loggerhead turtles shows they use two separate biological mechanisms to navigate the ocean -- and radiofrequency fields can disrupt one while leaving the other intact. This finding demonstrates the exquisite sensitivity of electromagnetic detection systems that evolved over millions of years, and raises important questions about how wireless radiation might affect similar systems in humans.
