Curiously, the exact same story appeared in the Yale Bulletin, in the
July 16 issue, only with a byline ("By Suzanne Taylor Muzzin") that's
absent from the ScienceDaily report.  Not quite sure how this works,
but in this web version of the Yale Bulletin piece at the link just
below (the same link that appears in Ben's Word Routes piece),
Muzzin's name is given as "Press contact" (in the paper copy, she's
given in the byline), and the "publication date" is given as July 8.

Copyright ain't what it used to be (if it ever was).
