A biochemist friend warned me many years ago that our ability to detect chemical substances was improving by an order of magnitude every three years.I'm a biochemist, and I was about to post something along the same line.

Thanks for confirming. My friend passed away some years ago, so I have no expert nearby to whom I can turn with questions. One of the brightest people I've ever met. He was given a professorship as soon as he finished his Ph.D. -- never heard of anyone else so honored!
