"I think that we might fairly gauge the future of biological science,
centuries ahead, by estimating the time it will take to reach a complete
comprehensive understanding of odor. It may not seem a profound enough
problem to dominate all the life sciences, but it contains, piece by
piece, all the mysteries." --Lewis Thomas (1980) NEJM 302:p 732
Wish I'd said that! And, on a lesser follow-up note...
"Researchers are expected to report the first evidence that a
long-forgotten sixth sense in humans may offer a new pathway to the brain
for treating a long list of emotional and mental disorders." --Jerry
Bishop, Wall Street Journal, April 11, 1996
