Bridges Lecture: Perfumery: the art and science of smell

Lucia Turin and Saskia Wilson-Brown

What, exactly, is fragrance? How might we discuss and theorize the sense of smell? Luca Turin and Saskia Wilson-Brown confront these surprisingly thorny questions and argue that fragrance is an autonomous art which must be dealt with on its own terms, a message in a bottle. As Igor Stravinsky said of music, fragrance may be "by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all".

Richard Hoshino
Saturday, December 9, 2017 7:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Public lecture: Adrien Pouliot Lecture

Richard Hoshino
In this informal and interactive presentation, winner Richard Hoshino will present four of his favourite math problems, and share stories of how these problems have led to authentic mathematical experiences for both high school students and undergraduates. He will share his story through these four problems, which will simultaneously be accessible to high school students and challenge the math professors in the audience.
