This link works for me:

If that one doesn't work for you, you can try for another one the same way I did-- paste a few words from the story into Google news and look for a link via that.
A summary of the article-- a group of neuroscientists take a nice vacation and manage to spin it to sound like they are doing research. They make vague speculations on what "might, kind of, possibly, if we look close enough" be true and trust the appeal to authority fallacy to hook a story with a print journalist, most of whom can't grasp science (not to paint with a broad brush, but from a lifetime of reading "mainstream" reports of science, the journalists almost always don't understand what they are writing about and almost always get fundamental details wrong.)
