I have a history of science lesson for today’s “Because It’s Friday”. Roberta Angioi – a Postdoctoral Researcher in Analytical Chemistry, Dublin City University – has an article on The Conversation discussing Tapputi-belat-ekalle, who was probably the worlds first documented chemist – she was formulating perfumes 3000 years ago, in Mesopotamia.
It is a story about chemistry and noses.
You want something amusing as well…

Still not satisfied?

Hens, lost engagement rings and other odd polling station stories – BBC News
Have a good weekend.
