Check out this super cool learning toolkit out in October. www.nai010.com/en/product/c.... It's been put together by the leaders of the Dutch 'Senses-Based-Learning' network (sensesbasedlearning.org) to try and get more sensory learning into education inside and outside academia #sensorystudies

In the 1890s, as loads of pine-based disinfectants were being introduced, companies were really getting to the bottom of the barrel when it came to pine-based names for their products...

Currently looking through smell-related psychoanalytical cases from the 1920s. One is 'An interesting paper on the case of a highly cultured young student who was a fervent collector of censers and found sexual gratification by masturbating into them'.
