The Science Creative Quarterly.Not technically a 'quarterly,' but a 'fortnightly'. with both news/educational content (Hollywood vs. Science: How Far Are We From Intarstellar Travel?; Asparagus, Stinky Pee, and Scientific Curiosity) and creative content (Sexy Universe; African Lion Family Objects to Their Portrayal in Recent Discovery Channel Documentary; Trash Talkin' at the Aquarium.)

Nice article on Stinky Pee, which is a subject that comes up every spring in these parts. Based on my flawed, limited, and entirely anecdotal research I had always been a proponent of the anosmia theory. It's good to have some references to back me up next spring!
Nice find, Melinika

Good site. The writing is at just about the right level to make it interesting for everybody.

It's too bad there wasn't more information on the real cause of stinky pee. It's one of those things I've been "studying" for years. Did you know that you can smell it in your urine within as little as 45 minutes?

Muskmelons have the same effect, but different odor.
