Groundbreaking research results to be released Monday

The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences will publish a research report next week with "groundbreaking" news, according to Kathy Keatley Garvey, communications specialist in the UC Davis Department of Entomology.

Garvey has a news release about the research ready, but it is embargoed until 2 p.m. Monday, Aug. 18. "Embargoed" is media-lingo for "top secret."

According to Garvey, the research report, written by entomologist Walter Leal, will, "without a doubt," receive international coverage. It affects some 200 million people, and, in the words of a Michigan entomologist, “corrects long-standing erroneous dogma,” Garvey says.

I'll post a link to the story here on the ANR News Blog on Monday at precisely 2 p.m.
