A fact from Sylvia Stoesser appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 August 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Sylvia Stoesser was called the "nasal chemist" because she could often identify the ingredients in an unknown laboratory mixture by smelling it?
