anyway, i conduct human chemosensory research, specifically olfaction. past studies have included trigeminal irritation, reducing agricultural malodors, sexual orientation and perception of odors, etc. however, the PhD i work with likes to focus on human attraction via chemical signaling and i have found that my interest in that area has been increasing as a result. our current research involves genetic basis of odor perception.

hehe... although our sense of smell is one of the strongest triggers of memory (you probably associate that smell with an ex, some kind of sexy ad, etc), we deal more on the bio side of things. supossedly, we are attracted to those with whom we are genetically compatible with (producing superior off-spring) and we can detect that through pheromones. pheromones, NOT meaning that crap you can buy bottled up from the back of a magazine - instead each individual gives off their own unique odor, which may or may not even be consciously detectable.

Ok, as a professional research assistant for a big company whose name you wouldn't recognize....I'd say you're longing for the ex-boyfriend. End of study
