Peter, I wanted to link to your article on this topic, but when I
searched I was led to your 2019 article that did not mention the most
recent findings:
https://esnpc.blogspot.com/2019/10/whoda-tunk-it-how-yale-researcher.html

You may wish to add a link to the 2019 article that points to the 2021
article. Alternatively, you may wish to create a single comprehensive
chronologically oriented article on this topic.
