Unscramble the Blue Letters


So we wtnead to know, could we actually tairn dogs to learn the smell of malaria? And so we've been working with a charity called madicel Detection Dogs to see whether we can train them to learn the smell of malaria. And we went out to the Gambia and did some more odor collection on children that were infected and uninfected, but this time, we collected their odor by making them wear socks, nylon skngticos, to collect their body odor. And we bhgrout them back to the UK and then we hanedd them to this charity to run the experiment. Now I could show you a gaprh and tell you about that experiment works, but that'd be a bit dull, wouldn't it.
