The MIT Tech, the online paper at the university Dr.Luca Turin is currently serving as a participant in DARPA’s RealNose project [it aims to simulate the mammalian olfactory system apllying the vibration theory], has an interesting short interview by Nina Sinantra with the man himself.
In it he explains how he first became interested in the research of smell, how he got inspiration for the vibrational theory from pioneers Malcom Dysonand and R.H. Wright and what he envisions/hopes for the future.
You can find the link of the interview here.

ReplyDeletepas du tout! Un plaisir! :-)
I think there's lot to the theories of smell breakdown and how it might correlate to other aspects of scientific research as well, so we try to keep abreast of things to the best of our ability.
D,
ReplyDeletehi there, thanks for stopping by!
Yeah, I should think so! It's so irresistible for a pun, isn't it? And I suppose Tania being an English Literature major (and competent writer in her own way) could indeed do so (not that he had any need, just saying!)
