What if we could diagnose some of the world’s deadliest diseases by the smells our bodies give off? In a fascinating talk and live demo, biologist James Logan introduces Freya, a malaria-sniffing dog, to show how we can harness the awesome powers of animal scent to detect chemical signatures associated with infection — and change the way we diagnose disease.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

Advertisement lied. Girls in even military gain on average the EXACT SAME PAY IF NOT HIGHER than guys. + btw in training all the way from baseball to special operations units, girls have to do only 75-80% the running, lifting, pushing, pulling and fighting.. female privilege much?
