Overall: Article has appeared in ITN before. I will try checking if it was a BOLD link or if it was non-BOLD link. If it was a BOLD link, I think unfortunately, this might not be eligible. Alright. Just checked. Unfortunately, this nomination might not be eligible for DYK because it was posted on ITN as a BOLD link. Relevant discussion can be seen
here. I am going to keep this nomination open for sometime in case the nominator thinks I might have gotten this wrong. It is a shame because I liked the hook. Nice work on the article though. Good luck on the GA nomination.

@
Z1720: - Wow. Thanks! Was this a recent change? Irrespective, this is good to go then. Unrelated, Earwig's check indicates a few high % matches, but these are largely publication names etc that are being tied back to Kremer's CV and a quote. I think this is good to go. Marking approved.
