Subha Patel, Kaiser's counterpart at IFF, has journeyed to Kenya and Guangzhou in China. In Southern India, she drew smell samples from cardamom flowers, local tea and fresh red clay. In lieu of bringing back buckets of samples or dead flowers, Patel records her findings chemically. Her primary tool, a solid-phase microextractor, is a $100 penlike device that can record the specific molecules present around anything with a smell. Fennel, cucumber, melon, tomato leaf, black plum and hydroponic celery might soon start to show up as notes in consumer fragrances. Scent notes of Japanese ginger, Indian mango, lantana...

In the group, Harvard undergraduate volunteers try to teach children important life skills through a performing arts curriculum. “Theater is this really powerful tool, not just for performing arts,” says former STAGE President, current board member, and after-school volunteer Christopher W.

...unexpected discovery is evidence that Indians, whom the settlers assumed would be uniformly hostile, actually lived in the fort for some period of time. Trash pits, for example, yielded fragments of an Indian reed mat as well as shell beads favored by the Indians and the type of stone tool that they would have used to drill them. The Indian artifacts were found mixed in with English ones in an undisturbed layer of soil and in greater concentrations than have ever been found in Virginia Indian villages.
