OF DOGS AND NANOYUBES

We have known for some timethat dogs can detect ovarian cancer with their acute sense of smell.  Well, to be safe I ought to say that some dgs can detect OVCA sometimes.  Well, it now appears that we humans can do it, too – with an expensive tool called a nanotube, developed and tested at Sloan Kettering.  Presumably it is more sensitive than a dog, or else they wouldn’t be bragging about it.  So, good for them.  But, you can’t pet a nanotube!
