SUMMARY:Olfaction Beyond Gravity: Human Scent Experience in Space
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/olfaction-beyond-gravity-human-scent-experience-in-space-tickets-1988011607233?aff=oddtdtcreator \n– \nDr Caroline McMillan joins the IAO to share her research into human scent experience in space in the latest talk in the IAO’s Olfactory Research Notes series. \nOn Earth\,scent molecules disperse primarily through rising air and diffusion. In microgravity\, olfaction changes dramatically. Without aggressive ventilation\, air pockets stagnate\, odours linger\, and bodily fluids migrate toward the nasal cavity\, congesting the passages and dulling the sense of smell. The result is sensory monotony\, olfactory fatigue\, and altered perception. Additionally\, astronauts navigate unavoidable\, intimate realities in confined\, shared spaces. These circumstances create persistent atmosphereswith no fresh air or open windows\, and are often marked by avoidance or taboo. \nOlfactory cues bespeak identity and anchor well-being. So how do we create meaningful olfactory experiences in orbitwhen our understanding of smell is profoundly altered\, both physically and perceptually? \nDrawing on astronaut accounts and research from the commercial space industry\, this presentation explores scent as an untapped dimension of spatial design. Smell offers subtle\, temporal\, functional layers that ease discomfort\, support mental health\, and social cohesion in high-performance environments.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Perfume Blending: Freestyle (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/introduction-to-perfume-blending-freestyle-in-person-tickets-1990620501506?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nJoin us for Introduction to Blending\, a class for beginners to perfumery that is focused on learning how to blend with aromatic materials\, and how to create (and balance) a formula. Perfume-lovers and burgeoning olfactory artists have the opportunity to jump right into making their scent dreams a reality\, with access to the hundreds of aromatic materials in the IAO lab space. \nThe class will begin with a quick primer to the world of aromatic materials: synthetics vs. naturals\, top/middle/base notes\, and dilutions. Participants will be guided through the process of setting up a workstation and how to write a perfume formula\, with proportions and balance in mind. \nThe second portion of the class will be the open exploration of the IAO Organ by all participants. After making individual selections\, we will get to blending! With Julianne Lee guiding the class\, each participant will learn to make bold changes\, subtle refinements\, and expand their final formula into a small spray vial to take home.
