The Science of Taste: What the Yuck!

WARNING: The Science of Taste is not tasty.

Big Questions from Small Minds is a science podcast that asks professors questions that seem too massive, complicated or even stupid.

This episode is about taste: how and why we taste the way we do. It contains hilarity, lab meat, saliva and all the biology within our gustation & olfaction systems.

Our guest, Professor Johannes le Coutre from UNSW, an expert in the physiology and neuroscience of nutrition, takes no prisoners, answering our tricky questions and explaining the intricate mechanisms behind... why we taste what we taste and how our brain processes it.

Plus there’s loads of jokes!
