Join us for our monthly #SensorySciences lecture, starting soon! ⌛

Our PhD students Sally Arnhardt, Helena Althammer, and @moritzengelhardt.bsky.social really enjoyed the opportunity to present their latest research, connect with fellow PhD candidates, and share ideas in a collaborative atmosphere at the @fraunhofer.bsky.social IVV PhD days. Thanks to all involved!

Alexander Fjaeldstad and I have a new chapter in the book Smell, Taste, Eat: The Role of the Chemical Senses in Eating Behaviour, edited by @LorenzoDStafford. Lots of great insights here. From our chapter, it’s clear that smell loss and its impact on ingestion remain vastly underexplored."

🧠 Upcoming #SensorySciences Lecture 💫 February's Lecture is a double feature: Peter Soba and Tobias Huth from @fau.de will give talks about the roles of Autism-genes and Alzheimer-associated proteases in sensory processing. Join us in person or online. More: www.sensorysciences.fau.eu/lectures

In a single sniff, the human sense of smell can distinguish odors within a fraction of a second, working at a level of sensitivity that is “on par” with how our brains perceive color, “refuting the widely held belief that olfaction is our slow sense,” a new study finds.
