Just writing down this question, which has an obvious answer for me (yes!), made me think of reasons why this “pet scan” wouldn’t work for everyone. Some people are afraid of dogs. Some people are allergic to them. But what if instead of smelling you, they smelled a sample from you?</p> Thu, 10 Sep 2020 19:07:39 +0000 Jonathan Jarry M.Sc. 8399 at /oss
