The lectures have temporarily been taken off youtube until I find another home for them. This series of lectures was commissioned by the Chinese firm Aromuseum for viewing on their app. I am most grateful for their support which allowed me to dedicate time to this project. Apparently a lot of people in China are illegally accessing the lectures on UA-cam using VPNs and then declining to subscribe to Aromuseum because they can get free content. Even though Aromuseum had rights to China only, this was not planned for, and I have no wish to hurt their business model. We are in discussions on how best to fix this to everyone's satisfaction. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.
Secret of Scent lecture 1
This series of fifteen 20-minute lectures explains the basics of how we smell. The scientific viewpoint is that of the vibrational theory of olfaction. The vibrational theory is still under active debate, as most scientific theories are. it is my belief that the alternative theory, based on shape, does not fit the empirical facts of smell. There is no lecture series based on the shape theory and I do not believe one can be made.
Episode 1 describes the chemical constitution of odorants and the requirements for a molecule to have a smell.
