I decided to put my Twitter handle @Smellosopher at rest. I wrote about my reasons for this in a brief essay on Medium:
"Pulling the Plug: Leaving Social Media for Parts Unknown". Instead, I will use this site to post weekly updates about anything that might be relevant enough to mention. Like THIS --> My book was mentioned by, wait for it, ... **The NEW YORK TIMES** (And yes, of course, I called my mum.) "What Can Covid-19 Teach Us About the Mysteries of Smell?" Could Smell Be a Measure of Consciousness?
A recent study shows the clinical value of your nose. It's coming. Soon (Spring 2020).
The book on the science of smell: Nose - Brain - Mind. Incl. interviews with 44 olfactory experts in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, chemistry, molecular biology, perfumery, philosophy. With Harvard University Press. PRE-ORDER!! |
