Sniff out new discoveries! Secret Science Club is heading over to Symphony Space in Manhattan for a special event ...
Thursday, February 11, 7:30pm,
Secret Science Club (North) presents
Neuroscientist Leslie Vosshall @ Symphony Space, $20 (Shh… use code
SECRET15 to get $15 tickets.)
Baking cookies. Smoke. Salty
skin. The world is filled with smells suggesting danger, the presence of
food—and mating opportunities. How many aromas can we detect? According to
groundbreaking research by neuroscientist (and smell-ologist) Leslie Vosshall, humans can
distinguish more than 1 trillion scents—far more than previously thought.
Dr. Vosshall has a passion
for the sense of smell. As head of the
Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior at Rockefeller University,
she probes the brains,
olfactory pathways, and DNA of creatures from fruit flies to Homo sapiens.
She asks: Is love in the eye of the beholder—or in the schnoz? How do different
animals detect smell and how do scents influence behavior?
