Time for Europe to realize that the US is no longer our friend and ally. At most, we will be partners in isolated questions when our views align. The US government now have the same "might makes right" world view as Russia and China. Europe need to adjust accordingly.

If you are interested in the science of smells, listen to my take on how, and why, snow smells. On the Science Friday @scifri.bsky.social show.
If you know snow, you might know that it has a particular crisp, clean smell.
Dr. Johan Lundström, snow aficionado and professor of psychology, joins us to talk about the science behind that snowy smell.

Why Snow Has That Crisp, Clean Smell
A combination of environmental factors and the way our bodies function play a role in how we perceive the smell of snow.

This has been such a pleasure to work on and make new friends across the senses! In this review, we compare the evidence for perceptual penetrability across the senses-that is, to what extent cognition shapes experience as opposed to biasing it. High in olfaction, low in gustation is my take home :)
