Text of the page (random words):
s i wrote about e noses and their value to us in the future i thought it was a rather mixed bag at some point in the development of these fusions of silicon and biology the question becomes not whether the e nose can replace the human nose but whether we want it to would i let an e nose sniff scan me for lung cancer sure would i use a robotic odor sentinel maybe especially if i had a b o problem but do i really want my refrigerator to tell me i m sorry avery i can t let you eat those cold cuts for full effect you have to imagine the fridge speaking in the voice of hal the computer in 2001 a space odyssey i remain a fridge primitivist i recently bought one that not only isn t smart but has no automatic ice cube maker still the dream lives on for some people including ashok prabhu masilamani founder of canadian tech company stratuscent which makes a chip that can detect various volatile molecules in the air he s quoted in today s wsj in an article by benoit morenne headlined a new frontier of ai enabled gadgets e noses could also be integrated in smart fridges to detect early signs of expiring food and guide users to items that will expire next says dr masilamani scientists at the nanyang technological university of singapore have developed a colored bar code that reacts to gasses from decaying food and a bar code reader that uses ai models to predict food freshness according to a study published in the advanced materials journal in october the dream never dies the wsj piece also discusses ai enabled toilets that can analyze your stool sample at the time of delivery again imagine the ai toilet speaking with the voice of hal avery you need to cut back on the kimchi i have made you an appointment with a gastroenterologist on second thought it would be much better if the ai spoke with the accent of an 18 th century royal physician in england good news a fetid and a stinking stool assembled colleagues nod in agreement the colour good well shaped and a

california is hosting yet another blooming corpse flower can you say overkill this is their twelfth one naturally they are livestreaming the blessed event on their u tube channel when i last checked it had 59 viewers they have not enabled comments which makes it even more joyless than usual it s time for someone to create livestream corpse flower commentary just like the gamers do i think the ocho s cotton mcknight and his sidekick pepper brooks could be the right team cotton wow that makes 3 millimeters in the last hour alone pepper that s right cotton it s a towering erection that just won t stop cotton and we re getting wind now of a smell a distinctive odor that resembles day old roadkill pepper that s what the bloaty stage is all about cotton pretty soon we ll need barf bags

but because i regularly publish in peer reviewed scientific journals i get daily spam from sketchy journals asking me to contribute a paper the pitch is often agrammatical and weirdly formal dear

complete cv and a list of your recent publications along with the name of the discipline and sub section so that we can send your cv for editor in chief s consideration 1 aerospace sciences 2 analytical chemistry 24 pharmacology 25 structural engineering your responsibilities if you accept would entail soliciting one thematic issue each year in a hot area of the journal we need the abstract of the thematic issue with a proposed list of authors within 4 months of the appointment of each section editor section editors are also expected to occasionally solicit contribute review articles we look forward to hearing from you in this regard sincerely hasan khan editorial manager current chinese science this sounds like too good a deal to pass up here s the reply i drafted dear

some good local news posted by avery gilbert at 6 18 pm 1 comments labels bogosity meter crime culture sunday june 13 2021 a skull full of mush there s an interesting paper to be presented later this month at an association for computing machinery virtual conference on the theme of interactive media experiences the paper by three engineers and a psychologist from the university of liverpool is titled predicting the colour associated with odours using an electronic nose the cross modal associations between scent and color have been of interest for ages my colleagues and i helped put them on a quantitative basis with a couple of papers in the late 1990s the liverpool group s new twist is getting an e nose to predict the color associations that s all fine it s of a piece with attempts to predict a molecule s odor character from physical parameters such as molecular weight shape charge etc the authors of the new study claim to find a 70 to 81 machine human similarity rating whatever i m not that interested in the details of their e nose or experimental protocols but i m fascinated by their conceptual point of view as expressed in this sentence fragment in the conclusions section thus highlighting the possibility of using e noses to predict human olfactory perception and implying that the colour associated with odours are partly written into the molecular properties of the stimulus 5 reference 5 is to the color odor study using human noses that i published with sarah e kemp in it we discussed the psychological associations that emerged between the test odors and measurable parameters of color nowhere in that paper did we attribute those association to the molecular properties of the odor stimuli it is a mistake for the liverpool researchers to cite that paper in support of their claim the bigger problem is with their philosophical view namely that an odor s color associations are partly written into the molecular properties of the stimulus this is a dumb but persistent conceptualization that s popped up before here s what i said about it in 2009 while commenting on a study by mandairon et al called humans and mice express similar olfactory preferences what i can t understand is mandairon s endorsement of a mathematical model that predicts odor pleasantness the idea is that odor pleasantness is partially dependent on the odorants physicohemical properties of course this has to be true at some level different molecules produce different smells because they have different structures but mandairon et al go beyond tautology the shared response of mice and men suggests that olfactory preferences are indeed partially engraved in the structure of the odorant molecule and there is an initial part of the odor percept which is innate and engraved in the odorant structure perceptions engraved on the molecule this is simply a bizarre way to think what else is engraved on a molecule of phenylethanol visual associations to red roses the name of my florist an olfactory memory of my dead grandmother perceptions happen in the central nervous system of an organism to talk as if odor pleasantness resides in the structural features of a molecule is animistic thinking pure and simple my objection to mandairon et al applies equally to ward et al no matter how cool the math and the engineering the idea that odor linked human perceptions are written or engraved in the structural features of a molecule is rubbish and unworthy of a place in scientific discourse the studies discussed here are predicting the colour of odours using an electronic nose

monday june 7 2021 the memory meme that refuses to die a reader s letter to the financial times relates a charming story about her son who as a two year old blurted out that a lady in a store smelled like his godmother lo and behold both women wore l heure bleue by guerlain thirty one years later he pulls the same stunt at a restaurant he correctly identifies his godmother s signature scent on a lady sitting at the next table the letter writer thought she was illustrating a point made in a previous edition of the paper namely wouldn t it be a fine thing if there was a good smell that reminded people of you in fact she did so quite effectively we can also applaud her son for having a good nose a keen awareness of scent and a long memory but why did the ft have to spoil it all by slugging the letter the power of scent is like a proustian madeleine there is nothing proustian about this anecdote the first incident shows a toddler with a precocious awareness of smell the second shows that as an adult he retains his smell identification ability along with a good memory in neither instance was he transported to a full blown evocation of an earlier time and place whether by the instantaneous effortless process described by many pre proustian writers or by the slow labored process described by proust in swann s way my guess is that some junior editorial assistant probably read french literature at cambridge and simply couldn t resist justifying all that tuition money by working in a proust reference basta in the interest of accuracy and history isn t it time we begin

of fragrance marketing requires that every smellebrity introducing a perfume attest to a personal role in its creation the legendary dolly parton now launching her first scent dolly scent from above has complied with tradition and issued the correct formulaic statement i felt like a mad scientist trying to find the right combination but we did and it took us about two years regarding her decision to enter the beauty business she is also quoted as saying i m going to start with perfume everybody has always told me how good i smell wut that sounds like an enormous non sequitur but then we note this on her website the truth is i have been blending my own scent for years it s a combination of bath oils powders and perfumes that have become my signature and is known everywhere i go it s time
