If verified by another lab this would be very interesting, but I keep thinking it's probably some kindof error. Erring on the side of skepticism, I suppose.

I heard a snippet of one of the lead PIs on the case yesterday. He stated that he wasn't totally convinced either so there were to be more experiments....
