An interesting case of parallel universes.
Cutler's PhD is from Penn and she was affiliated with the
Hospital of the U of Penn at one point.
Richard Doty, the author of the critical article, is the head of
the Smell & Taste Center at the Hospital of the U of P.

And Cutler is not affiliated with that large and varied group.

And what of the breakthrough research of Dr. Winnifred Cutler
in 1986?
To get the uninformed up to speed:
In 1986, her co-discovery of human pheromones received major
news coverage in Time (12/1/86), Newsweek (1/12/87) and a
front page story in the Washington Post newspaper, (11/18/86)
because it established the first scientific proof that human
pheromones affect the relationship between men and women.

I notice that the article ignores the research showing that
females prefer the scent of symmetrical males, or the new
research showing that males prefer the scent of menstruating
females. Although neither show direct evidence for pheremones,
they do provide data relevant to the debate. And having read
the research on menstrual synchrony, I can say that the
article dismisses the phenomenon too easily.

[tips] Do human pheromones exist?
Is the notion of human pheromones another myth slain by lack
of data?
