ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

R. Graham Cooks

Hey kiddo, have you ever heard of a guy named R. Graham Cooks? He's a really smart scientist who works with chemicals and machines to figure out how to detect things.

So imagine you're playing a game of hide-and-seek and you have to find your friend who's hiding somewhere in the house. But what if you couldn't see or hear your friend? That's where Dr. Cooks comes in.

He makes machines that can smell things, like when you use your nose to smell cookies baking in the oven. But his machines are even more powerful and can detect tiny amounts of different smells.

These machines can be used to find things that are really important, like dangerous chemicals or even diseases in our bodies. Dr. Cooks is helping to make the world a safer and healthier place by creating these machines.

So basically, Dr. Cooks is a really cool scientist who makes machines that can smell and find things that we can't see or hear. Pretty neat, huh?
