Sniffing Out Trouble


Interesting news that trained sniffer dogs can detect the metabolites associated with prostate cancer in urine samples with a more than 90% reliability (http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/apr/11/dogs-trained-detect-prostate-cancer-accuracy). This compares very well with existing biochemical tests. Yet another success for 'man's best friend'!

Noted a Curlew ( Numenius arquata ) on the Loughor estuary at Bynea.
