Her studies meant culturing cells, dividing them into groups and placing them on a human-head model made from bone, meat and chicken skin. She then placed a cell phone on one side of the model and the cultured cells on the other, before extracting molecules and analyzing the results.<\/p><p>An expert on the structure and function of the nervous system, magnetic orientation in animals and developmental neurobiology, O&rsquo;Dell appeared previously on <em>With Good Reason<\/em>in 2014, when she shared her research on bees&rsquo; use of magnetic fields.
