When an olfactory scientist loses their sense of smell: A new interview with Nancy Rawson
Dr. Nancy Rawson is an Associate Director at the Monell Chemical Senses Center. She manages corporate relations at Monell, helping Monell scientists connect with research problems and clinical needs in industry. This means taking a hypothetical question and creating a research-based solution. Nancy has worked in nutrition and chemosensory science. A cell biologist, much of her career has been spent studying how olfactory neurons work. She says closest to her heart is understanding what’s going on inside our olfactory system. She is a self-confessed foodie, wine buff and keen gardener.
