The woman who can smell Parkinson’s disease – BBC News
Joy Milne has an incredible sense of smell that is able to recognise Parkinson’s disease on the human body.
She detected Parkinson’s on her husband, Les, 10 years before he was diagnosed by doctors.
Now Joy, from Perth, is using her ability to help scientists develop a diagnostic test for the condition.

A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.

Historic first as Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100m world record at Beijing games | BBC News
A Chinese humanoid robot has run 100 metres in 9.39 seconds in a preliminary heat at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, surpassing the men’s world record time held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won its heat at the opening of the games’ second edition. The robot overtook smartphone maker Honor’s Lightning near the finish after falling behind early in the race. Lightning finished in 9.47 seconds, also faster than the 9.58-second record Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The results marked a remarkable improvement from last year’s inaugural games, when Tiangong Ultra won the 100 metres in 21.50 seconds. Tiangong also won the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon, held in Beijing last year.
The 100 metres is among 51 events at the games, which include football, dancing and contests to complete industrial tasks.
China is promoting humanoid robots as a strategic emerging industry, with policymakers and companies betting that advances in AI and hardware will accelerate their use in manufacturing, logistics and consumer applications.
Investor enthusiasm for the sector was underscored recently when shares in Unitree, China’s best-known humanoid robot maker, jumped more than five fold in its Shanghai trading debut, giving the company a market value of about $50 billion.
This year’s games have drawn 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and six continents, up from 280 teams at the inaugural event.

There was a time when sleeping was simple – but now, it’s a bit more complicated.
Sleep has rules – there’s the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.
It’s not just something we do, it’s something we measure.
But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

I’m surprised they don’t train dogs to do this. I imagine it couldn’t be that hard ya know. They train them to detect drugs, if diseases have a smell I’m sure they could train dogs to detect and alert to it as well.

Parkinson disease is a very terrible illness, my Dad suffered from it for 19 years until we finally got a help and a medicine that truly works that helped treat, cure and reversed all his symptoms. My Dad is well again.

But if it’s a smell then what is causing the smell, a bacteria? Can we get closer to understanding the cause of this illness?? Most animals have a mush better sense of smell than us. And get this, we don’t even understand the science of odor

It is a terrible disease especially from Stage 2 onwards. This might help. Take Vitamin B1 to tackle jerking body, quivering mouth and tightening of toe muscles.
For my case I usually take 2 tablets each time, once a week.
There are times, seldom, I take 2 tablets each time twice a week.
Only take when acute symptoms appear

Incredible. To think that biochemistry changes because of disease kind of makes sense, but I never thought of it that way, the disease isn’t in areas of my body, my body is diseased and acting as a whole. I wonder what MS smells like.
