In parallel, we are launching a crowdfunding campaign in support of AChemS' efforts in advancing chemosensory science and education. Click below to contribute gofundme.com/f/support-educ….

Did you know that AChemS, founded in 1979, is the international community of scientists who know their way around a good sniff and a tasty bite? It’s the place for discussing and unlocking the science behind smell, taste and related sensations!

Did you know that expectation of how a food should taste influences what you think it tastes like?

The sense of smell is a very powerful trigger for memories. Just like Proust's madeleine, a familiar smell can take you back to childhood or remind you of a past love. Smell taps directly into the brain's memory centers and is the bearer of our most vivid recollections!
