“One of the most amazing things about olfaction is our ability to detect and discriminate such a wide array of volatiles,” says @DukeMGM's Hiroaki Matsunami in a @wired article featuring a paper of his that unravels the mystery of how we smell. 🧠👃

What foods people say they’ve eaten & what they’ve actually eaten are often two different things. But a new technique using DNA barcoding may get at the truth, improving clinical trials, nutrition studies and more. https://t.co/eJSI7dbAHa the @DukeMGM @DukeMedSchool
