Ep. #291: Making Sense: Curiosity & Smell, with Venkatesh Murthy
Update: 2025-08-07
Description
Lean into the language of smell with me: we sniff things out, we follow a scent. We’re nosey!
Is this not curiosity, enacted? Embodied!?
So what do we know about our sense of smell, and might studying it offer insights into the way our brains explore, learn and remember?
