- For
- Insect-welfare researchers and Black Soldier Fly producers
- Worth noticing
- The site says protocols and statistical analysis plans will be published before data collection begins.
Field notes
The programme page separates three workstreams: substrate-temperature monitoring, welfare indicators, and comparisons of harvest methods. Each is explicitly marked as preparatory or in development; the site says protocols and statistical analysis plans will be published before data collection begins. The proposed probes are described as offline-first and capable of SMS alerts when substrate temperatures cross critical thresholds, but the homepage does not report pilot results.
