The chemical structure of geosmin, the compound behind the smell of the Earth after rain, which itself is known as petrichor. Geosmin is a compound released by certain soil bacteria called Actinomycetes, and falling rains cause it to be released into the air. We are sensitive to 10 parts per trillion, or one drop in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Next time you’re dancing in the rain with someone you love, tell them how much you like the smell of (4S,4aS,8aR)-4,8a-Dimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydronaphthalen-4a-ol.

    Hello Good Morning: I can’t imagine how rad ass that woman in the back of the truck felt. Just when you give up hope in humans. A FORD F-250 Super Duty comes strolling into your life.

    For my 150th post, I offer you humans rescuing bear cubs from a dumpster. Because sometimes you have to rely on others to save you.

    AWESOME PEOPLE!
