From Harper’s April 2022 Findings:
A pharmacologically administered liver enzyme was found to halve ethanol consumption among alcoholic vervet monkeys, macaques in Virginia failed to wean themselves off heroin and cocaine, and a new population of whitehanded gibbons was discovered in Malaysia.

*Maybe because I typed this thing about getting lost in supermarkets but I forgot where Fairway had its pasta. And had to ask. And felt like a fool.
