	Chandler Burr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chandler Burr (born December 30, 1963) is an American journalist and author, best known for his science writing.
		Burr achieved critical success with The Emperor of Scent (2003), a book-length account of scientist Luca Turin's efforts to decode the sense of smell.
		Born in Chicago and raised in Washington, D.C., Burr was a correspondent in the late 1980s for The Christian Science Monitor in Asia, and later became a Contributing Editor to U.S. News and World Report.

		But it is, and author Chandler Burr's ability to make the dullest of scientific explanations sound lyrical is but one of the reasons The Emperor of Scent is a must-read.
		Burr may want to name his biography 'The Right Place at The Right Time' but his life is also about perceiving the richness of the moment he is living through, and realising its potential.
		Burr considers most poetic the section of the book where he tries to convey to the reader how strange Turin is, intellectually.

	Amazon.de: The Emperor of Scent: Enses: English Books: Chandler Burr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Burr (A Separate Creation: The Search for the Biological Origins of Sexual Orientation) narrates in depth Turin's efforts to publish in the journal Nature: the maddening peer review process lasts more than a year and ends with smug dismissals by scientists who don't understand his work.
		Burr, who is skilled at parsing complex science and smart turns of phrase, enters the story in the first person to describe his own difficulties as a journalist writing about Turin: critics clam up and get hostile when asked about Turin's theory.
		Burr concludes that the hysterical, often incoherent resistance portrayed here "embodies the failure of the scientific process." Grim words for a book so full of wit.

	James Kohl reviews The Emperor of Scent: A Story of Perfume, Obsession and the Last Mystery of the Senses by ...
		Chandler Burr, a Washington, D.C. based journalist and author of A Separate Creation, tells of Turin's scientific trials and tribulations as Turin attempts to prove that odor perception is based upon molecular vibration rather than upon molecular shape.
		Sometimes, it seems that Burr's intent is simply to show that Turin is the best and brightest of researchers, and possibly even prove this to others.
		Chandler Burr tells this story well; it is an excellent representation of how science works, and how it sometimes doesn't work.

	CJR Daily: Chandler Burr Brings a Point de Repère to Perfume Criticism
		Reading Chandler Burr on perfume is like being trapped in a complex weather system, like looking down into a well of cool, fl water; it is at once warming and cooling, and instantly mesmerizing, like a compulsively listenable rock album.
		This is how Burr himself, named on August 22 the New York Times' "first-ever perfume critic," described the experience of smelling Bigarade Concentrée and Black XS for Paco Rabanne, respectively.
		Burr's hiring piqued media interest (he has made the rounds to NBC's "Today Show," NPR's "On the Media," and the "Wake Up with Whoopi [Goldberg]" radio show in recent weeks).

	Review of A Separate Creation: The Search for the Biological Origins of Sexual Orientation by Chandler Burr 0786860812 ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		I especially appreciated Chandler Burr's letting the researchers speak for themselves, and got used to his (and their) not crossing all the t's and dotting the i's when discussing not-simple subjects.
		I was pleasantly surprised to find that Burr's explanations were thorough and enjoyable, that he spared no pains in explaining what potential problems with the research were, how the researchers tried to overcome the innate limitiations of their chosen topics, and what various researchers said about each other's work.
		Burr misses the 800 pound gorilla in this scenario; many gays want to become straight because of their desire to become a part of a family.

	The AIDS Exception: Privacy vs. Public Health
		In the Atlantic Monthly, author Chandler Burr asserts that HIV and AIDS have largely been exempted from the normal standards of epidemiological study out of concern for civil rights.
		He claims that while measures are being taken in various forms around the United States, the efforts form a "chaotic patchwork" that is insufficient to stem the spread of the disease.
		According to Burr, this so-called AIDS exceptionalism first became evident in the 1980s, when activists started fighting for an end to AIDS discrimination and pressured the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on privacy issues related to HIV testing.

		'Burr seems to believe that it is possible to cure homosexuality with a good dose of penicillin', Robin McKie, in The Observer Review, 14th.
		On this, Burr is out on a limb, as he is with many of his other assertions - for example that there is some kind of parallel between the sexuality of humans and wasps.
		In the latter case, the administration of antibiotics is known to turn females into males, hence Burr's strange belief that it is possible to 'cure' homosexuality with a good dose of penicillin.

	Bookreporter.com - THE EMPEROR OF SCENT by Chandler Burr
		Lyrical and analytic, harrowing and hilarious, a page-turner and a philosophical inquiry, Chandler Burr's THE EMPEROR OF SCENT employs its juxtapositions to jolt the reader's mind like a whiff of smelling salts.
		Like Luca Turin, Chandler Burr, whose work on this book began as science journalism for The Atlantic, has the sort of voracious curiosity that makes him resist approaching his subject from a single angle.
		Here's Burr, after a more technical explanation, cleverly summarizing cyclopentadienyl-metal tricarbonyl molecules for lay readers: "They were basically molecular hamburgers, the two five-Carbon rings like buns with burgers of the various metal atoms slapped in betweenThe nickel burger had a nasty chemical oily smell."

	An interview with Chandler Burr :: Now Smell This
		Chandler Burr is the author of Emperor of Scent, the fascinating book about Luca Turin and his theory of smell.
		Chandler gushes: sand in South Beach with her girls from the block, the exhaust from the cars on the strip, the slightly-too-much makeup, the testosterone of the boys hanging around watching the sun heating up the cheap, luscious coconut oil on their exposed stomachs.
		However, Burr's obvious enthusiasm for his subject, the depth he goes into his subject and his sense of fun made me gloss over all the grammatical errors.

		Chandler Burr’s new book, The Emperor of Scent: A Story of Perfume, Obsession, and the Last Mystery of the Senses, finds itself much in the same position as To Freshen and Protect, in that the public’s interest in this subject has been firmly established by Patrick Suskinds brilliant novel, Perfume.
		The reader enters Burr’s pages with the hope that the comparison has more to stand on than the senile truism that ‘truth is stranger than fiction.’ Why should we think that truth is stranger than fiction, I mean to say.
		What one finds is a concerted attempt by Burr to provide the reader with a prefabricated opinion, namely that the "trouble with science is that, as a rule, oddity among scientists-perfume obsessions, strange work habits-is often indistinguishable from inefficiency.
