What a #EUREKA2026!
We made new connections, shared our multisensory platform with exhibitors and students, and explained how olfaction links perception, emotions and memory, even in VR experiences.
Thanks to all who visited us at the Polo Tecnologico Alto Adriatico stand and joined our pitch!

I guess I still call myself a scientist in my bio, so...
Hey, I'm Shannon. PhD - studied olfaction at UC Berkeley. Postdoc - studied zebrafish lateral line regeneration (mechanosensory cells analogous to hair cells that transduce hearing) at NHGRI. Created NIH-wide trainee ethics course at OITE.

I went to a wastewater plant today and there were a couple really pungent areas. Nothing out of normal, but the one place was a particularly acrid funk that connected to many other smell memories in the worst possible way, poisoning my memories and future olfaction.

Our aim is to make the technique easier to implement, standardise and compare across experiments and labs 🧪🧠
It was lovely to put this together with the plug team Sonu, Li ( @lihuang.bsky.social), Tess ( @tess-stanley.bsky.social ) and Elisa ( @elisagalliano.bsky.social) !

Richard Axel was hilariously incompetent as a medical student, so he struck a deal with the Johns Hopkins to receive an MD on the condition that he would never practice medicine. He then switched to biology and won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2004 for his work on olfaction.

8/ The idea that doomed cells are an evolutionary reserve isn't ours: Prieto-Godino et al. (2020, Sci Adv) proposed it from undead neurons in fly olfaction.
What we add is the developmental biology: which gene, and which cell.

Like 望聞問切 is the "four examinations" of traditional Chinese medicine, literally look, listen, ask, feel the pulse. In English it's usually rendered as inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and palpation (pulse diagnosis).

Crickets evade bats via olfaction beyond acoustic cues
Olfactory bat avoidance in crickets uncovers an overlooked sensory axis in this classic system and a functional eavesdropping strategy across phylogenetically distant predator–prey interactions.

The 'receiver' framing is key: the Chinese Room shows syntax can process olfaction without understanding it, but Mary's problem is different - even perfect discrimination leaves open what coffee is like from the inside. An e-nose satisfies functionalism without touching the phenomenal question.
