Purported phosphine on Venus more likely to be ordinary sulfur dioxide -- ScienceDaily

Ya'll could notify anyone you discussed with I left out. I didn't read that many posts, as I just emailed by chemist father right off the bat, and he quickly explained why it would be more likely a non-biological origin. (he had accidentally made phosphine himself once! But...now this result it is merely sulfur dioxide is just funny...)
I think I was like many others, pretty confident that a non-biological explanation--or even a mistake such as it turned out to be--was the most likely explanation. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I was hopeful in the back of my mind. So it is kind of a bummer.
