Caught the end of the titan arum (aka corpse flower) bloom KewGardens. Although the smell is supposed to be stronger at night, this afternoon we still got a whiff of sweet, meaty & rotten. It brought to mind white marble counters in old-fashioned butcher shops #smellstudies


Happy to host colleagues from the #Odotheka project in the UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage lab a few days ago to discuss mutual interest in heritage smell preservation - Emma Paolin @matijastrlic Odeuropa

A very moving book sniffing session Universiteit Leiden guided by Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen & @karinscheper - we smelled an incunable & wonderful Ethiopian manuscripts in leather cases infused with complex smoky, woody notes, from years hanging next to the fire in a family home @Odeuropa


How do you go from historic recipe to heritage scent and how do you present that to the public? Smell of Heritage and I put the Lorentz Center workshop participants up to this nose-on challenge last week! Odeuropa @museum_ulm Dr Lizzie Marx



Agree, it's great to see heritage professionals so enthusiastically embracing the senses and their potential for knowledge, engagement and inclusivity. Enjoyed developing the session for The National Archives with @WillTullett Odeuropa UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage #olfactoryheritage

UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage PhD student Xing Wang is conducting a survey which asks people in church administration e.g. church wardens or clergy to reflect on disaster management in churches. If this is you, he'd be very grateful if you could spare 10-12 mins! qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_8v…



We had a great evening at Royal Institution listening to visitors stories, learning of incredible research on the senses and sharing historic smells created @Odeuropa UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage #heritagescience
