Welcome to Episode 260: Two Scientists.

In this episode, I recalled from memory the story of Luca Turin's theory, all from a book called The Emperor of Scent: a True Story of Perfume and Obsession. I do hope I got most of that correct. I read from: my computer's quickie dictionary; a New York Times magazine article called "The Woman Who Could Smell Parkinson's"; and John M. Barry's book, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History.

I briefly play: the robot from the 1960s television show Lost In Space. Musically, KMFDM backs Henry Giroux in the opening; and I close today with Mistle Thrush.
