Howdy bug lovers! Today we are excited to have Dr. Greg Pask on the show. Greg is an expert in insect olfaction, how they smell the world. Smell plays a huge role in an insect's life and Greg studies the ways their sensory organs work and how insects use them in a smelly world. It's an important part of insect anatomy and of entomology history. So tune in to hear all about sensilla, pheromones, and how we can manipulate insects with their odors!Want to learn more about insect smell?https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/when-did-insects-learn-to-smell/https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/14/science/insects-dont-need-noses-to-sense-a-stench.htmlQuestions?
