Professor Bob Frank's 'Sniff Test' Featured in NY Times
University of Cincinnati psychologist Robert Frank says the sense of

The Aug. 14 edition of The New York Times offers a story on the "Sniff Magnitude Test" invented by Frank and UC biologist Robert Gesteland, a test now under further development with the WR Medical Electronics Company in Stillwater, Minn.
