Making sense of smell

Venue: Main Lecture Hall at 16:30

"The ability of organzisms to sense their chemical environment is nearly 
as old as life itself.From viruses to metazoans, chemosending is key to 
essential behaviors such as nutrient scavenging, mating, communication 
and sociality. i will discuss two prominent examples of chemical 
sensing, chemotaxis in bacteria and olfactory search in insects, with 
particular emphasis on how their behavioral response is linked to their 
perception of the chemical landscape."
