An invention with many applications
Billy Lee Lasley’s invention of a non-invasive method for determining the sex of birds – designed to help protect endangered species such as eagles – has slowly been adopted by researchers around the world.
"This type of research does not attract the same amount of money as research on humans or commercially valuable animals.”
Perhaps more importantly, his work has proved to have other uses, including monitoring the reproductive health of women exposed to chemicals in the environment.
