Upcoming Event: When the Flavor Fades: Culinary Professionals on Smell and Taste Loss
Hey there, Sensory Enthusiasts!
In a world where taste and aroma rule supreme, imagine the unimaginable – losing your sense of smell and taste. It's a sensory catastrophe that has struck millions worldwide, thanks to the formidable COVID-19. But, the consequences go far beyond mere sensory pleasure; they delve deep into emotional turmoil, depression, disordered eating, and isolation.
Now, let's take a closer look at a group that feels this loss doubly: our beloved culinary professionals. Even a temporary loss or alteration of these senses can be nothing short of a culinary nightmare for them. The fear of permanence? Absolutely crippling. And in the bustling kitchen, where the aroma of smoke and gas is a crucial alarm system, the stakes are even higher.
But here's the twist – while many have faced this challenge, only a few have dared to break through potential stigma and speak out about their experience. And guess what? We've got a spectacular event coming your way that sheds light on this remarkable journey!
**Rachel Herz, Ph.D., a renowned neuroscientist, author, and world-leading expert on the science of smell**, will be your guide through this sensory adventure. She'll lead you through a fascinating discussion about the impact of COVID and the loss of smell and taste on the culinary world, offering unique insights and scientific perspectives that will leave you truly captivated.
Now, let's talk about facts: did you know that taste and smell loss can lead to altered eating habits, mood swings, and feelings of isolation? It's a sensory symphony that plays a significant role in our daily lives, and its absence can be utterly life-changing.
This online presentation by our sister Nonprofit Organization, The World Taste & Smell Association, will be informative and truly captivating, moderated by the brilliant professor, author, and scientific expert Dr. Rachel Herz.
