One Response to “This Week in Science – August 26, 2008”

In case you wanted to know…
The city of Guelph is located about 50Km West of Toronto in the province of Ontario, Canada. Predominantly anglophone.
The study related to DNA finger printing of fish served in restaurants was performed by researchers at the University of Guelph (pronounced GWELF) (www.uoguelph.ca).

Enjoy the podcast, keep up the good work.
Thanks.
PS: I am in no way associated with the above mentioned study, in case you were thinking I was looking for kudos. :^)
