Hello, this is Bryan Alvarez, Dr. Marla Spivak’s son. I am writing to say thank you for publishing such a wonderful article about her and her work. It’s a pleasure to finally see a story about honeybees that doesn’t read like a Dario Argento script. Bees don’t kill people. People kill people. Or something like that. I work at the National Institutes of Health, and if you don’t mind I’m going to forward the article to some friends over in the Infectious Diseases department. Maybe they’ll redirect some of their grant money to my mom. Probably not to The Rake, though. Sorry.
