    They keep using “gender” in this paper, don’t acknowledge any of it’s downfalls (n = 60; self-reported; no protocol for hand swab; biological sex is not binary; etc);

    " Each subject was instructed to not wash their hands for a minimum of one hour prior to sampling."

    So they are able to determine if someone is using self care products marketed to females vs males? Or are they claiming each gender has a distinct VOC composition due to biological sex differences? this is some really poor reporting on some really shoddy “research”
