This science research doesn’t just pass the sniff test -- it IS the sniff test. Our olfactory abilities are so refined that our noses can identify a person’s gender with over 96% accuracy from the smell of their… hands?!
Robotics is advancing past clumsy limbs and brute force by getting better at both -- this rolling robot that can make deliveries, throw objects, and dynamically adjust its application of force.
Sometimes our most advanced scientific discoveries already exist in nature -- like a tiny pill modeled after the pangolin that can roll up to be deployed in internal medicine applications. Oh, and it’s moved around your body by a magnet.
A scientific breakthrough has been sitting at the bottom of a canyon for decades -- and despite it being over 100 meters high, we’re only just seeing Asia’s tallest tree.
Birds are once again dominating the science news cycle, and this time it’s by thumbing their beaks at our efforts to deter them from public spaces. It seems like anti-bird spikes actually make great bird castles.
Until recently, bionic limbs have been rudimentary with little fine motor control -- but harnessing AI algorithms, neuroscience, and osseointegration may allow for natural motions in bionic hands and fingers.
The dark side of the Moon continues to keep secrets, like why there’s a giant slab of thorium and uranium resulting from a billion-year old moon volcano.
A giant 300,000 year old flint axe has been discovered in England, and it either hurt people, hunted animals, or just looked awesome.

I understand the debate over gender vs. sex -- I used the word "gender" here because that is the term used in the research paper itself, which you can view here:: journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0286452
indeed the title (of study) says gender!
Yeah, but this kind of rhetoric HARMS people. You HARMED non binary persons by using language in such insensitive ways...
Thanks for the clarification man! 👍
@@maxmustermann2197 Nobody was harmed in the making of this video.
@@maxmustermann2197Harmed? How so? He just made a simple mistake
Question, how could HRT or someone being intersex affect the hand sniff tests?
Also a sample size of 60 sounds pretty small
the detective turned up his nose. "this case smells, and not like a woman's palms", he said. "the hell did you just say" said the police chief
😂
I never knew I wanted to see a noir film with a weird narrator until now.
With a ~4% chance of getting the suspect's gender wrong, I feel like using this technique of "instantly ruling out suspects" could potentially lead to incorrect convictions like what you've told us about in your series all about math issues in criminal trials.
If its getting gender wrong could it be because of trans people who dont want to be the sex they are?
still helps probably
@@johnschwalbTrans people are not mentioned in the paper at all, so I'd assume that the 30 males and 30 females are all cisgender. Btw, with a sample size this small, I suspect that there could be some serious overfitting. I think the only way to know for sure is to repeat the study with way more people.
I rather doubt this is a tool that would be used to nail down a conviction. It seems more like a tool to direct focus onto a specific group of suspects. But obviously, if it suggests you're looking for a male and all the males have alibis, one would need to look at the potential female suspects.
The reason trans people aren't mention in the study is because the study used the traditional use of the word "gender" to differentiate between male and female.
VS2 is using "gender" in the title because it's currently a buzzword. The procedure is detecting sex.
@@johnschwalb doubt it, unless maybe they had some sort of physical procedure that could change the "smell" of the hand.

The bionic arm is next level. I feel like there will come a time when people will choose it over a normal limb if it can get an equivalent or better response time. Especially if it was digital and/or replaceable.
Still far awat realistically tho, as based as it is.
Only if they have a near unlimited power source what if you're somewhere with no electricity or in a emergency situation. Also you can eat healthier, work out, and train in martial arts or sports to increase your reaction time. Nature gave you an amazing organic machine called the human body that has two powerful arms. It's perfect for people who don't have use or no limbs at all though!!
@@bladetheatrics so what I'm reading from this is that it is possible. Training is all good but there is a limit to the body that might be able to be overcome with technology. Now is not the time but seems like it's possible and seems closer in time than I previously imagined.
it is amazing. not sure about the direct interface to the bone, though. seems risky.
eh theres still that level of personal feel, like even if a bionic arm can feel more real then my real arm, i'd still want my own arm.
Fun fact gender is a concept in language sex that concept in biology
In english they are synonymous.
In french you have certain gendered words though.
@@GiRR007

List go on and on an English most of our gendered words are suffixes gender was used more recently to replace the word sex in polite company because of prudishness
@@puddingninja That's not the kind of genders I'm referring tobin regards to french. It's hard to describe but it's not the same type of gender as in the English language. Its masculine and feminine. But yeah as I said in English gender and sex mean the same thing.
@@GiRR007 gender isn't even a French word and the fact that english-speakers use the word gender up until recently exclusively as a word to describe artifacts of language is poignant can you give me one example of up until recently in the last 70 years that this word was used in English for anything other than artifacts of language
@@puddingninja I'm not referring to the actual WORD gender I'm referring to it's equivalent in French. The idea of masculine and feminine words. Look it up on Google. In English however gender is the same as sex.

Heads up the hand study has a sample size of about 60 people. Going to need more research for anything conclusive, but it's better than nothing.
Here's how they collected the data:
"Each subject was instructed to not wash their hands for a minimum of one hour prior to sampling. Hand odor was collected from each subject while sitting indoors. A pretreated 2 in. x 2 in., 12ply, 100% cotton DUKAL gauze was swiped on each palm of the hands and then squeezed between the palms for 10 min. Upon completion of the 10 min hold, the sampled gauze was placed back into its respective 10 mL vial and capped."
sounds big enough to show significant effect size, too small for granularity in accuracy :) Would love to see repeated across people groups, cultures, diets, illnesses, etc
@@cybergarrett I'd say its too small to show true significance, but instead shows that something interesting MIGHT be happening there. 96% is crazy high, but what if there were other biasing factors which affected the entire group due to such a small size.
@@H3LLS4NG3L LMFAO OK buddy
@@cybergarrett Tell me you know nothing about statistics without telling me
@@cybergarrett 60 people can never be a truly representative sample of half the population of the world, in-fact, they cannot even prove significance within 3 sigma, which is the scientific gold.

A sample size of 30 women and 30 men seems really small to me, especially if you just need to collect hand stank. Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to get a bigger test group.
I'm also curious how it is for transgender people. Do they get falsely identified as their AGAB? Or does it like identify them as their actual gender ..

Kind of curious how trans people read in that hand odor study. Also feel like it's worth pointing out, the study reads at a 96% accuracy, or about 5% margin, or 1 in 20, meaning in 60 persons there's maybe 3 misidentifications. They do point out if a third variable is added the accuracy could be improved. Neat stuff. I want to look at it more when I have less of a headache.
I would think that if the person is on HRT it might effect it, that's a good question.
