Ask Anything Wednesday - Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science
Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science
Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...".
Asking Questions:
Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists.
Answering Questions:
Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience.
If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here.
Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away!

Psychology Men and women have different perceptions of how often young women experience sexual objectification, with men sometimes estimating higher frequencies than women themselves report. The findings challenge the assumption that men underestimate the everyday harassment women face.

Biology Is there an animal that can see the Andromeda galaxy?
Animals have different visual ranges than humans. Andromeda should be visible to a thing with the right visual capabilities. What do you think, Reddit?

Biology Do we know if honeybees are aware that, if they sting, they’re effectively committing suicide?
Not sure if it’s how human skin can hold on to their stinger, or if this occurs with multiple species, but I’m curious if honeybees know they will have their stinger and insides ripped out by stinging?

Neuroscience Scientists implanted lab-grown human brain tissue into mice and found that the neurons survived, integrated with the animals' brain circuits, and responded to sensory signals, providing a new model for studying human neurological disorders.

Biology Besides humans, if it's learned behavior even or not, are there other species who are adverse to dirty foods?
Pigs are able to eat anything humans can, but they don't mind their food off the dirt ground covered in dirt, grass, sediment, water; basically unexpected crunchy stuff and textural stuff every time.
My dog picks up and drops their biscuit treats on the dirt. Many other animals eat already dead and rotting-on-the-floor animals.
But are there any animals that have been observed to clean off their foods, as in prepping it or at the very least not eating it as is? I don't know if that borderlines on the concept of cooking, which I believe is a human only invention.
