Too cool.
PBS NewsHour has a new science video series called ScienceScope - and their first episode is all about smells!
Scientists, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the White House Brain Initiative, are trying to understand how smells travel, and how we detect them. They simulate the turbulent wafting of an order with dye in water. The hope is that this research will lead to smell-detecting robots that could replace search dogs.

Why I like it warm.
Of course I had to visit the only major brewery in Singapore. Tiger Brewery did not disappoint. This plant pumps out large quantities of the national beer and is also the site of SE Asia's production of Heineken and Guinness, among others! #brewery #brewlife #tigerbeer #tigerbrewery #watermalthopsyeast #singapore #professionaldevelopment (at Tiger Brewery Tour)
I like the way this girl operates.
