Public policy, social issues, gender politics, religion, civitas, and other taboo topics fall under the hammer of Shava's iconoclasmic force of natural philosophy.

The nose knows...

Swedish research reports that gay men and straight women respond to the same pheremone in men's sweat.
This managed to make international news with the "See? Gay guys' brains are different!" headlines.
However, this is a study that had a total of three dozen participants. Is this a statistically significant sampling?
Although the Reuters story indicates that the authors call for further research, I can't get beyond the free abstract of the actual paper at PNAS to see how they positioned the significance of the story.
But, it's all over the news. Sex sells, I guess!
