Omg I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. Tonight my husband set out a fly trap in our backyard. The kind that smells like dead animal and poop to attract flies. Shortly after, we get these emails on our neighborhood listserv. Coincidentally, we had put out a fly trap a couple weeks ago too 👀

Like humans, the chimpanzee GYP locus is structurally complex. GYP paralogs encode glycophorins used by the malaria parasite to enter erythrocytes. Previous work suggests human GYPB dels render resistance to malaria. Similarly, the candidate chimpanzee haplotype carries a stop-gain GYPA variant.

Risking boomer energy here, any advice on suddenly finding yourself on a spam call list? Do I have to abandon my phone number I’ve had since college?!
