My latest for @hyperallergic.com looks at new research reconstructing the smells of ancient mummification processes & Egyptian perfumes. I love a good olfactory study—but also that they chose to study Cairo over European-held examples for better chemical analysis. hyperallergic.com/998360/archa...

Today is also St. Gertrude of Nivelles’s Day, the patron saint of cats... since the 1980s, kinda. But she was sort of seen as a protector against rats and mice in the 15th century. She also did spinning while devils destroyed a city and was given a secret note by Satan?
