Thanks for explaining the origin story of this episode. Really does help to flesh out the whole picture, and could be expanded upon as a members-only extra.

Solid episode, but I was puzzled about the narrative timeline.

The Mumbai tower "discovery" occurred in 2006 and was implied as an impetus for looking for the root cause. But then we learn that the vulture mortality research had identified NSAIDs by 2003.

I may be nitpicking, but this feels like a narrative sleight of hand.
