Ep 76: Designing Smell | Nancy E. Rawson

What is the relationship between smell and memory? Can our sense of
smell improve our emotional health? Should a smell check be a part
of our regular check-ups? Nancy Rawson is Vice President of the
Monell Chemical Senses Center, and holds a master’s degree in
nutrition from the University of Massachusetts and a doctorate in
biology from the University of Pennsylvania. Her career spans
academia and industry, including a faculty position at the Monell
Center studying how age and health impacts taste and smell, and
various roles in the food and ingredient industries where she built
research teams from the ground up and received awards for new
product innovation. Since 2016, she has been at Monell, working to
catalyze and manage Monell’s relationships with nearly 40 corporate
partners and lead strategic and operational planning activities to
support the Center’s growth and success. She continues to advance
research into taste and smell disorders, is a founding advisor for
the Smell and Taste Association of North America and is committed
to increasing awareness of the importance of taste and smell for
our health and wellbeing.  Episode Mentions and Resources:
