An article was published in the New York Times Magazine that explores the effects of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 on our sense of smell. We'll explore some of what the author, Brooke Jarvis, highlights — and use this article to explore the evidence that humans' sense of smell is actually quite a bit better than we've been lead to believe.

I'm a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania, and I think of this kind of like office hours with a teacher where you can discuss anything you find interesting.

Here's one place: [ Ссылка ]

Do you dig the idea of a weekly live conversation about science? I certainly do! I'd love to make it viable to do regularly when I've finished my PhD. I know not everyone is in a position to support people in this way - but, if you are, here's my Patreon: [ Ссылка ]
