Smell the birdie
I wonder if any of the researchers had a pet bird ("Myth of the Bad-Nose Birds," SN: 8/20/05, p. 120). My Alexandrine parakeet can smell beer or ice cream from two rooms away—She screams for her share.

Brainstorm
The research into placebos' pain relief ("Placebo reins in pain in brain," SN: 9/3/05, p. 157) should probably be tied in with the recent work utilizing hypnotism for pain relief. It may well be that the two turn on the same centers of the brain.
