Past Scent (and Other Senses)

from The Past and The Curious: A History Podcast for Kids and Families · host Mick Sullivan

How did an extinct flower not seen since 1881 wind up being the subject of a modern day project to recreate a scent from the past? It was a long path from Dr. Charles Short in the 1860s to Dr. Christina Agapakis in the 2010s. And it's a cool story!
