Thanks for writing this article, which gives a good fair overview of the discovery, the uncertainties, and some of the implications.

For people here who are more interested in some of the details of the discovery, I gave a talk at Cambridge about what someone needs to show in order to explain the phosphine on Venus (assuming it is phosphine):

Jane Greaves will later be giving a talk about the detection itself. If it’s on Youtube I’ll share the link here.
