The story about the three girls producing a breakthrough crop yield is complete nonsense, they didn't invent anything new. http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/co

  A lot of the headline-making science fair projects are complete BS. It's a shame, too, because there are actually a lot of novel and interesting research projects at high-school level science fairs. The good ones win reasonably frequently, but they're realistic enough not to make click-winning headlines.

  Hm. That doesn't refute the core issue: faster germination time. It just nay-says the hype leading up to that conclusion. Again, more a criticism of science journalism than of those three scientists.
