1:5 @priroby1, a colleague shared a blog about her research and her question "What lengths have you gone to purchase or make that perfect smell?" had me thinking about a childhood memory.

An interesting approach to education. Our identities are multi-faceted, contextual, and operate on their own schedules. I'm particularly a fan of the conclusion: one's pace doesn't equate with comprehension/intelligence.

Unacceptable.

Copied:
Yesterday a Native American student filmed this video in his Math class. After several minutes of the teacher “war hooping & tomahawk chopping” the student began filming because he, “felt that violence was being committed against him and he had the right to record.”

@Tetisheri13 @McrMuseum @EgyptMcr Would you identify the water sign (phonetic value n), as well? The ancient Egyptians did love their puns! ("For all life and dominion")

Such (scented) cosmetics were often offered to bestow divine breath aka life to the recipients!

@matijastrlic rounds out this lovely smellinar discussing the conflict between pollution and smell in the context of museums and conservation. Smell provides an important source of information, but may also present a conservation risk.

Thanks @trickyholly for a great talk on the powerful metaphor of the festering lily in establishing and maintaining the myth of the Other within Renaissance-period literature.

A student on mine did her project on smell themes in US children's films concluding that such themes can be used to promote positive social change.

I can recreate the smell of my grandmother's home just by thinking about her, but now here visiting with her as she is seeking out those pearly gates that lovely, happy scent takes on an edge of remorse and desolation. Perhaps growing up is learning to fear growing old.
