My original training is as a theoretical and computational chemist. Instead of doing lots of experiments, I use maths and computer calculations to figure out what is happening. No smells. In the last few years, I started doing forensic science experiments. There is a need to find reagents that are less dangerous. So my collaborators and I have been looking at fruit extracts as fingerprinting reagents, and at clove oil, citrus oil, pine oil, and other oils to bring back serial numbers that have been removed be sand-papering. Lots of nice smells, and some of these forensic reagents can even be eaten or drunk.
