The smell of other geckos

Posted by Robin on 25 February 2023 Leave a Comment

A novel study found that geckos use the smell of other geckos to differentiate them from other members of their species, a University of Bern published early February determined.

The study, published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Animal Cognition by Springer, discovered that Geckos actually use their tongues to sense the odor of other gecko subspecies.

You’re spoiling the fantasy

Posted by Robin on 24 February 2023 2 Comments

I got told “you're spoiling the fantasy” once for telling people practical, down-to-earth kinds of things. Which fantasy is it? A lot of the time it seems to be people who make perfume, traditionally white men, believing that they're making things that women will want to wear to attract them. Is that still a thing? Apparently. I'm not really pro that romantic fantasy of why we wear perfume, but perhaps I'm in the minority?

Too much Cinnabon is just Wrong Cake.

Olfactory dysfunction

Posted by Robin on 22 February 2023 5 Comments

Exposure to PM2.5 – the collective name for small airborne pollution particles, largely from the combustion of fuels in vehicles, power stations and our homes – has previously been linked with "olfactory dysfunction", but typically only in occupational or industrial settings. But new research is now starting to reveal the true scale – and the potential damage caused by – the pollution we breathe in every day.
