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.
