I am very excited and grateful for all of the press about this as well! nytimes.com/2022/02/03/scien… livescience.com/body-odor-mu… theguardian.com/science/2022…

My first (co)-first author paper is in a preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We want to understand how the activation of receptors translates to how we perceive odors. This work is a collaboration between @JLand52's lab, Sijia Wang's lab, @AndreasKellerNY, and Unilever R&D

We found receptors that are important for perception of two different odorous compounds: a key compound in human body odor (3M2H), and a musk compound (Galaxolide).

The newly discovered receptor for Galaxolide (OR4D6) may be essential for the perception of the odor. Most people who had two copies of a genetic variant of the receptor were no longer able to smell Galaxolide!

Good morning! If you only look at one map today, make it this one. This is what red/blue states really look like. Land doesn't vote. People do. #ElectionResults2020 xitter.cf/BettinaForget/status/1…

No but really. How fun would it be to be on a ski lift?
