After 3 years, I am at Heathrow and on my way to Berlin to attend the ECRO conference. Will be great to reconnect, hear all the updates on the current science, and present some of our research on the bitter taste perception of dogs. 🐶✈️ ECRO 2022 - Berlin ECRO Waltham Petcare Science Institute


A BIG THANK YOU to the Organising Committee of ECRO 2022 - Berlin! I had a great time immersed in the chemosensory science and catching-up with colleagues and friends I haven’t seen for 3 years or more. I’m already looking forward to @ecro2023. 🥰👃👅🇳🇱

So pleased to share our new paper on bitter taste perception of the domestic dog. I am particularly proud of this work from the PhD of Matt Gibbs that I co-supervised, which extends our research into pet health. Thanks to Darren Logan for the great blog!🐶👅 Waltham Petcare Science Institute

I’m #recruiting a new role to join my team at the wonderful Waltham Petcare Science Institute in the UK, as a Senior Research Manager, Healthcare. There will be cats. And dogs. careers.mars.com/uk/en/job/R709…

I’m pleased to share our latest publication titled Domestic cat nose functions as a highly efficient coiled parallel gas chromatograph, which has just been published in PLoS Computational Biology. 😻👃📖👍 Waltham Petcare Science Institute #cat #smell #science journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

It was a pleasure to be interviewed by Tanya Lewis from Scientific American for this little awesome piece on the sense of smell of cats 🐱 🐈 (science coming from Dr. Scott McGrane from Waltham Petcare Science Institute and other colleagues) scientificamerican.com/article/cat-no…

We've supported a new study by Ohio State Monell Center Penn that's given us new insights into cats' incredible sense of smell 🐱 🐈. Read more in this Scientificamerican piece: scientificamerican.com/article/cat-no…

In tests with 25 cats that were given flavoured water, two compounds that tuna contains in high amounts “really seemed to hit that umami sweet spot”, says Dr. Scott McGrane (via News from Science). science.org/content/articl…

Have a read of the article published in The Guardian that explores the flavour research done by my team at the Waltham Petcare Science Institute and enjoy finding out about the chemosensory world of cats and dogs. 🐈⬛🐕🥰👍 Waltham Petcare Science Institute amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
