Smell loss can be devastating. Dr. Munger’s #InnovationoftheYear is a better way to screen for smell loss using the ArOMa-T, a simple, inexpensive test that allows a person to self-assess & identify a disfunction in smell!

Smell loss is impactful in the people that it affects. Dr. Munger found a better way to screen for smell loss by creating the ArOMa-T, a simple, inexpensive test that allows a person to self-assess and identify a disfunction in the sense of smell. Congrats!

Everyone has heard of umami, right? But how about kokumi? We have published a paper in @SciReports today on this lesser known taste modality and its role in a carnivore, namely the domestic cat. A thread.
