The ecological functions of these volatiles are manifold (Figure 23.22). (...) Certain volatiles emitted by infested plants can also serve as signals for neighboring plants to initiate expression of defense-related genes (see Figure 23.22). (...) Besides providing a signal for neighboring plants, infested plants may well send a volatile signal to other parts of themselves (see Figure 23.22).

I’m late home tonight. Wait for me?

A mental exercise then, whilst he’s stuck in a cab to the Yard thanks to Gavin and his insufferable obsession with paperwork. He has seven minutes to revise his preferences. 

Life, he knows, and his life, in particular, is unpredictable. He had no control over its beginning and only in its middle did he manage to cobble together something he wanted. It’s unlikely he will have any say on its end. Regardless, he wants to be prepared.

The last thing he wants to wear: his Belstaff of course, and a freshly-pressed suit. Secondly, pyjama bottoms, one of John’s old t-shirts, and his blue silk dressing gown. Pants, optional.

The last thing he wants to eat: the thing with the peas. Also a 99 Flake (nostalgia, dammit).

The last thing he wants to smell: A perfect synthesis of methyl salicylate. Also John, ideally the skin beneath his left ear.

The last he thing he wants to see: the back garden of his childhood. Also John, any bit of him will do.

The last thing he wants to touch: the familiar comfort of his violin. Also John, ditto.

The last thing he wants to hear: John’s laugh. 

Nothing else will do.

He replies.

Yes.

About the root beer thing, it's mostly just the wintergreen that throws off people not used to drinking it. American toothpaste and mouthwash commonly has it too, probably the same taste as what you're used to, but those are distinctly minty and not much else. Root beer has a pretty large list of other ingredients which vary from brand to brand and to kids it doesn't really stand out against the rest of the flavors or sugar, so most people that grew up drinking it don't even know it has wintergreen and won't notice it unless specifically told about it. But to an adult trying it for the first time, and especially trying to relate it to something they've tasted before, the minty methyl salicylate is way more noticeable. tldr it's literally just an acquired taste. I guarantee if you tried one of the better root beers you'd still think the same thing. Maybe "ok yeah this tastes less like toothpaste but it still tastes like toothpaste" unless it's a rare brand that specifically doesn't use wintergreen.

Ohhh, good point!

So basically, in order to like root beer, you have to have grown around it, otherwise it will always taste like a dental hygiene product.

Honey in perfume, feat. Bee (Zoologist, 2019)

(Picture from the Zoologist website, obviously, and not my magical cottagecore abode)

I am a big fan of (wearing very small amounts of) sweet gourmand fragrances, including sugar and honey notes. “Notes,” of course—nowadays, it’s not the real thing. While I have seen at least one or two indie companies touting actual honey in their honey perfumes, for the most part, it's an aromachemical: phenylacetic acid, derived from beeswax and generally combined with other notes to create an accord. This Fragrantica article tells you everything you could ever want to know about the chemistry of honey perfumes, including:

"Honey absolute" is generally beeswax absolute (technically not even an absolute), which has "a relatively mild scent, reminiscent of hay and tonka beans with waxy and honey undertones."

"Phenylacetic acid itself, in high concentrations, has a sickeningly sweet smell, really reminiscent of honey, with sour, powdery and floral nuances. In its composition, the nuances of tobacco and chocolate are clearly distinguishable – one, without imagination, can also describe them as a strong animalistic urinal smell, vaguely reminiscent of civet."

If you saw barrels with a bee symbol in Breaking Bad: that's the stuff. It is, in fact, used to make meth.

Other notes/aromachemicals used in various honey bases (abridged): vanillin, heliotropin, coumarin (often tonka bean), violet (ionones), hyacinth (phenylacetaldehyde), rose and wax (geranyl acetate), and a note only found in citrus blossom honey: methyl anthranilate.

In the "mellis" base: "benzyl salicylate (balsamic, herbaceous) and eugenol (cloves), [...] patchouli, hydroxycitronellal (lily of the valley), woody notes, spices, and coumarin." This is a foundation used in many of the classic older fragrances like Youth Dew (which my grandmother used to wear), Opium, and L'Air du Temps.

If you're interested in the chemistry, take a look at the article—the parts I'm quoting are only to get across the palette of scent possible in a honey fragrance. Guerlain creative director Sylvaine Delacourte also reels off an exhaustive list of honey notes in perfumery. I'll quote four of them:

Miel de Provence (Firmenich base): "tobacco, aniseed, honey, curry, immortelle, coumarin, hay"

Beeswax Absolute: "quite buttery, very honey-like, broom-like"

Phenyl acetic acid: "honeyed, fruity, dirty, a little blackcurrant"

Tabac Turc Absolut: "honey, animal, leather"

Dance break for further reading:

Fragrantica: Beeswax in Perfumes

Perfume Society: "We love what the nose Christine Nagel has to say about this ingredient: 'Honey has two facets – half devil, half angel. In Ambrée structures, it has a sweet, comforting effect, taking you back to childhood. But a small touch in a feminine structure can be extremely sexy…'"

Bois de Jasmin: Sweet Honey Water: Perfume Recipe from the 17th Century

Also at Fragrantica: Best in Show: Honey Fragrances (2020). Now, if I had a money tree, I would probably go straight for samples of Back to Black (Kilian), Scandal (Jean Paul Gaultier), Poison (Dior), Chergui and Miel de Bois (Serge Lutens), L'Instant de Guerlain, and Honey and the Moon (TokyoMilk). The sample I actually ordered was what I felt must be The Honey Scent of All Time:

Bee (Zoologist, 2019)

I had actually never tried a Zoologist fragrance before this; they're famous for animal-themed scents that range from the imaginative to the, uh, challenging. (And the infamous.) Here's the official description:

Like the frantic hustle of the bee through a maze of multi-faceted scents, Zoologist Bee delivers a surreal experience. The rich aroma of honey captivates, while alluring florals, royal jelly, animalic beeswax and regal incense unite to create a buzz, offering excitement, and the sweet rewards of life.

Perfumer: Cristiano Canali Top Notes: Orange, Ginger Syrup, Royal Jelly Accord Heart Notes: Broom, Heliotrope, Mimosa, Orange Flower Base Notes: Benzoin, Labdanum, Musks [synthetic], Sandalwood, Tonka, Vanilla

Now, glance back up at all the background business we just went through: heliotropin, coumarin (tonka), citrus that could include methyl anthranilate. Sylvaine Delacourte invokes mimosa and broom in her full list of notes—

But then: royal jelly apparently has a cheesy, condensed milk scent; she also mentions that beeswax absolute can read as "buttery." For that matter, her mention of a "butyric" honey aromachemical is a bit alarming: it's the "rancid butter, parmesan cheese, and vomit" note that makes Hershey's chocolate so objectionable to people who didn't grow up with it. Like, it's all here if you google know what you're looking at. It's all fun and games until the bee cheese comes out.

And then, labdanum, as you might remember, is the key ingredient in amber accords, where it's often blended with benzoin and vanilla, so we're going to get a warm, resinous, highly projective effect as well. I love amber, but I have to apply it exceptionally sparingly: it's LOUD.

What I'm getting at is, once you look more closely at the notes and the chemistry: I am not surprised that some wearers report a claustrophobic feeling like their head is stuck in a beehive. If your skin chemistry emphasizes the floral notes, it's said that you'll feel like you're right there soaring with the bees among the wildflowers; if you amp the cheesy, waxy, or A M B E R notes, well. There's nothing I can do to save you now. Remember Tabac Turc Absolut ("honey, animal, leather") up there? Or that phenylacetic resemblance to civet? Zoologist is famous for (surprise!) their intensely animalic fragrances. We don’t know exactly what Cristiano Canali used, but we sure do know what’s possible. You are IN that hive with the bees. Hope you brought some pollen as a hostess gift.

I always apply, like, three entire molecules of perfume when I first try something, so I was fine. On me, Bee has a creamy-yet-powdery "texture"—not dairy, not "old lady" powder; something almost tactile. The honey itself is primarily what I smell, and it’s "high" in my nose; I think I would have preferred a deeper note, like the dark clover honey I use in my tea, but it's nice. I don't specifically smell any ginger or florals—maybe a little citrus. Nothing cheesy or objectionable, barely waxy, just a general sense of hive. But Bee does seem—alive. It seems to move in the air around my wrist.

And it persists for hours, despite how little I wore (three different occasions), especially since my skin does amplify amber notes. If you find yourself in trouble, it is not going to wash off. DO NOT SPRAY BEE ALL OVER YOURSELF. DO NOT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CHOICES. I really enjoy honey fragrances and this one in particular, but—you have been warned.

Addendum: It was extra fun to edit this out on the deck under a cherry laurel with about 7-8 bumblebees circling overhead. They were chill.

Next Generation Aircrew Protection team conducts B-1 vapor purge testing

Nov. 20, 2023

DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --

The Next Generation Aircrew Protection team conducted the last set of vapor purge testing on the B-1B Lancer at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, November 7.

Comprised of six organizations from the Air Force and civilian sector, the NGAP team focused on purge times for the B-1B in the event of an airborne chemical attack.

During testing, a vapor simulant known as methyl salicylate, or wintergreen oil, was injected into the aircraft. Sensors placed inside the cockpit measured how long it took for the vapor to be purged during flight.

“Ultimately, the goal of this testing was to investigate and define how long it takes an aircraft to reduce a chemical concentration in the crew areas to levels where the crew can safely remove their protective gear,” said Dr. Richard Salisbury, 711th Human Performance Wing chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear analyst. “This research is important because we need to understand how long it takes to get back into optimal fighting conditions and inform commanders.”

The NGAP team lays the groundwork for future CBRN protective gear while assisting aircrews in the present using the data collected from testing. The team analyzes the purge times on each aircraft and creates data sets showcasing the vapor concentrations at different times during flight. This allows them to find the safest time for aircrew to remove any protective gear and continue flying after an attack.

“Without this testing and the subsequent data, the B-1B aircrew would be required to wear full chemical gear throughout the duration of a mission,” said Lt. Col. Dane Kidman, 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron director of operations. “B-1B sorties can last up to 30 hours during contingency operations, and with this data in hand, the aircrew can now remove CBRN equipment safely in flight which increases aircrew endurance. This will ultimately give the Air Force the ability to employ the B-1B in locations susceptible to chemical weapon attacks with lowered risk to the mission because the data provided gives the aircrew those tools for survival.”

Prior to the B-1B test event at Dyess, testing was conducted on the A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor and C-130J Super Hercules and will continue onto the B-52 Stratofortress next.

“One of the points of this effort is to ensure Air Force aircrews are able to operate and execute their mission in any scenario and that includes CBRN,” said 1st Lt. Gunnar Kral, Air Force CBRN Defense Systems Branch lead engineer for joint aircrew protection. “The NGAP program is coming along with a lot of great results, executing a lot of tests at a high frequency. The work done by the team is extremely important and, while we hope it won’t be used, it is 100% relevant in today's environment.”

The role of floral scent in pollinator attraction

The role of floral scent in pollinator attraction https://ift.tt/8fRjI9b A new study published in AoB PLANTS by Mayumi Vega-Polanco and colleagues investigated how the scent of a buzz-pollinated Solanaceae species varies between populations in Mexico and the United States and found that although bees differentially visit plants of the different locations, floral extract alone cannot explain the differences in preference by bumblebees. The authors suggest that other factors, such as the presence of nectar or the colour of the flowers, may also play a role in pollinator visitation.  The chemistry of floral scents acts as a powerful messenger, guiding pollinators towards their nectar-rich destinations. However, little is known about how variation in floral fragrances affects pollinator preferences.  The research team, from ECOSUR in México, used a variety of methods to study the floral scent of Solanum rostratum (Solanaceae). They first extracted the volatile compounds from flowers of plants from both locations and they then used gas chromatography coupled with spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify and quantify the different compounds in the extracts.  They found that the floral extracts from plants in the two populations contained 13 different volatile compounds that varied seasonally, with some of them such as methyl salicylate, being higher in the spring than in the fall.  Interestingly, the relative abundance of these compounds varied between populations. For example, the extract from US plants contained higher levels of the compound benzyl acetate, while the extract from Mexican plants contained higher levels of methyl salicylate.  Speed dating for Bumble Bees. Image: Vega-Polanco et al. 2023. The research group then conducted two behavioural experiments to test how these differences in floral scent affected pollinator visitation. In the first experiment, they placed plants from both populations in a field cage and observed which plants were visited by bumble bees, Bombus impatiens. They found that bumble bees visited plants from the US populations more frequently than plants from the Mexican ones.  In the second experiment, the researchers presented bumble bees with a choice between extracts from flowers of Mexican and US plants. They found that the bees showed no preference for either extract.  The findings challenge the conventional wisdom surrounding floral scents and their sway over pollinators. The authors conclude: “Although bumble bees visited plants from US populations more frequently than they did with plants from Mexican populations, we found no difference in the preference of B. impatiens for floral extracts. Other signals, besides floral volatiles, should be further evaluated to explain the pollinator preference for plants from US populations.”  Vega-Polanco et al. 2023.

On the other hand, muscle pain relief cream, also known as muscle rub, is a topical remedy that provides pain relief for sore muscles. Many muscle pain relief creams contain active ingredients such as menthol, camphor, and methyl salicylate, which can help alleviate pain and discomfort. When you apply muscle pain relief creams, they work by producing a cooling sensation on the skin that helps reduce inflammation and calm the nerves.

There are many muscle pain relief creams available in Australia, but one of the best muscle rubs is the Tiger Balm Pain Relief Ointment. This muscle rub is made with natural ingredients such as camphor, menthol, and clove oil, which work together to soothe sore muscles and reduce pain. Its fast-acting formula makes it an ideal product to use after a workout or whenever you’re experiencing muscle pain.

In conclusion, both magnesium spray and muscle pain relief cream are beneficial products in relieving muscle discomfort. By using them together, you can increase the chances of experiencing significant pain relief. If you’re looking for the best magnesium spray or muscle pain relief cream in Australia, do your research and choose a product that suits your needs.

So many Japanese people think root beer tastes super medicinal, and find it gross. And that’s because of the wintergreen oil!

Wintergreen is minty, but it’s not a type of mint, it’s a shrub! And it’s got a chemical in it called methyl salicylate that’s closely related to aspirin (salicylate acid). And that’s the main ingredient in Salonpas, a Japanese pain relieving topical patch. (Also Tiger Balm, Bengay, Icy hot).

So it’s no wonder it has a medicinal vibe if you weren’t exposed to root beer as a kid!

A continuation on my post about unloved foods, specifically this is my in-depth defense of root beer.

Root Beer isn't inherently gross, it's just one of those weird local flavors that's off-putting to people who didn't grow up with it. We all like different things and also we all tend to like flavors that are similar to what we grew up with. That's okay! But honestly root beer is pretty unique and, in my opinion, delicious.

One of the main complaints against root beer is that it tastes like medicine. Funnily enough, it was originally marketed as medicinal! This is true for most OG sodas actually. Pretty much as soon as carbonated water was invented, people were drinking it to soothe various ailments. A lot of the original soft drinks were actually invented by pharmacists. I just think that root beer is especially cool because the main flavor came from the root bark of sassafras, a common North American shrub. Because it's so widespread and aromatic, all parts of the sassafras plant have been used in food and medicine by many different Native American tribes throughout history and was subsequently picked up and used by European colonists. In the 1960s, some studies indicated that that safrole oil, which is produced by the plant, can cause liver damage. Whether or not this would actually remain true after it had been boiled and added to root beer is unclear, but it was really easy to replicate the flavor, so the sassafras in commercial root beer these days is artificial. Another fun fact about safrole is that it's a precursor in the synthesis of MDMA. None of this information has stopped my childhood habit of eating sassfras leaves right off the shrub whenever I walk past it on a hike. I'm like 85% sure it's safe and also mmmm yummy leafs go crunch.

Another root beer complaint is that it tastes like toothpaste. I think this is probably because another key flavor in most root beer recipes is wintergreen. I'm assuming that the people who think this are the same people who think mint chocolate chip ice cream tastes like toothpaste. I can understand and even respect that some people don't like mint and associate it only with brushing their teeth, but like. Mint is a pretty common flavor. I mean I think it's safe to say that humans have been eating mint flavored stuff for longer than toothpaste has existed... anyway!

Other common flavors in root beer (real or artificial) are caramel, vanilla, black cherry bark, sarsaparilla root, ginger, and many more! There's not one official recipe, and root beer enthusiasts often have strong opinions about different brands. Some root beer is sharper, with more strong aromatic flavors, and others are mild and creamier.

Another thing I think is cool about root beer is that it's foamier than most sodas. This was originally because sassafras is a natural surfactant (and why sassafras is also a common thickening agent in Louisiana Creole cooking.) These days, other plant starches or similar ingredients are added to keep the distinctive foam. Root beer foam > all other soft drink foams. That's why root beer floats kick more ass than like, coke floats.

If you've never had root beer before, imagine if a sweetened herbal tea was turned into a soda, because that's basically what it is. If your first response to that is a cringe, fair enough. That's why lots of people don't like it. If your first response to that is "interesting... I might actually like it, though" then I encourage you to track down a can of root beer today, hard as that might be outside the US and Canada. Next time you see an "ew, root beer tastes like medicine/tooth paste" take, know that there's a reason for that, but also the same could be said for literally any herbal or minty food/drink.

My final take on root beer is that it would be the soda of choice for gnomes. Thank you and good night.

Eucalyptus oil also helps reduce inflammation and provides a refreshing sensation that promotes overall muscle relaxation. These oils are perfect for a post-workout massage to alleviate soreness.

Best Essential Oil For Stiff Muscles

Stiffness in the muscles can make it difficult to move comfortably after exercise. To combat this, using the best essential oil for stiff muscles can help improve flexibility and relieve tension. Lavender oil is highly effective in easing stiffness due to its soothing and calming properties, which help muscles relax. Ginger oil, known for its warming qualities, promotes better blood flow to the muscles, reducing tightness and improving mobility. These oils work together to loosen stiff muscles and restore comfort after a challenging workout.

Essential Oil For Pain Relief

When muscle pain becomes more intense, specific essential oils are known for their powerful essential oil for pain relief abilities. Wintergreen and rosemary oils are excellent choices for managing muscle pain. Wintergreen oil contains methyl salicylate, which acts as a natural analgesic, providing targeted pain relief. Rosemary oil has anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce muscle pain and improve circulation. Both oils can be used in a blend to soothe muscle pain and promote faster healing.

Essential Oils For Sore Muscle

For sore muscles, essential oils can be highly effective in relieving discomfort. Essential oils for sore muscle relief, such as chamomile and frankincense, are great choices. Chamomile oil is known for its calming effects and ability to reduce inflammation, which is essential for muscle recovery. Frankincense oil, on the other hand, not only helps reduce swelling but also provides pain relief by improving circulation. Combining these oils can offer a natural remedy for sore muscles and speed up recovery.

Best Oil For Muscle Pain

To target muscle pain from multiple angles, the best oil for muscle pain would combine both cooling and warming effects. A blend of peppermint, lavender, and arnica oil provides a powerful solution for pain relief. Arnica, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, works well with peppermint’s cooling effect and lavender’s muscle-relaxing abilities to offer comprehensive pain relief. Bodhi Naturals offers essential oil blends that target muscle discomfort, helping you recover quickly and comfortably.

Incorporating essential oils into your routine after exercise can significantly reduce muscle pain and stiffness. With the help of Bodhi Naturals, you can find high-quality oils to alleviate soreness, relieve pain & speed up the healing process.

upsetting ask: 5, 22

5: one of my committee members is making me rewrite my proposal because he feels like he hasnt had enough involvement in my career or whatever due to him ditching my seminar, my prelim, and all my committee meetings. The first and only interaction I’ve had with him outside of begging him to fill out a whenisgood (which he refuses to use, in favor of a doodle poll, or one formatted where he can see other professors available times), is him assfucking me over a proposal literally no one cares about.

22: this is a really good one because I have so many smells.
