I’ve been on the road and am just now getting around to posting a link to this smelly panel discussion hosted on Tuesday by Josh Zepps. It’s me, Stuart Firestein, Bonnie Blodgett, and Sissel Tolaas.
Scent certainly has more power than we usually credit it. 80% of taste is really our perception of smell. It is fascinating to learn about how the brain perceives smell and how it is linked to both memory and emotion.
To encourage discussion, commenting on this blog is open to all. On-topic and thoughtful comments are encouraged; profanity, rants, and personal insults are not. It’s my blog and I reserve the right to delete any post that stinks up the joint.
