Ep. 102: Olfaction

In Episode 2, "Olfaction", host Alan S. Rudolph is focusing on the evolution of chemical detection across species, from insect antennae to dogs' noses, and how these systems are now being utilized in medical devices like electronic noses and in environmental sensors such as electronic bee hives, among other innovations. Whether to detect a mate, a predator, or a pie cooling on a windowsill, well-tuned olfaction can make the difference between life and death for creatures from the lowest invertebrates to the most modern mammals. Please enjoy this episode of "The Tardigrade Chronicles"!Produced by Halteres Associates.
