A taste of molecules - Diane Fresquez

Is there a gender difference between women and men when it comes to bad smells? It turns out there is. And what happens when someone secretly experiments on a group of scientists during a dinner eaten completely in the dark? In this lively sprint through foods and flavours, she explores the passionate young people working to uncover the truths about taste, including a brewery owner/scientist who's developed a banana-flavoured beer meant to appeal to young women and another who won't rest until he develops the perfect mead.
