chapter 8 - Making Scents

Well first off, I am so happy that this is the last chapter that we have to blog about, although this book is very interesting. I wouldn't have minded if we had to blog about all the chapters because like Bryan Munar said I will also have to finish this book because I also have ocd about it like Bryan. So this chapter was really short and really easy to understand. I agree with Brain Wang when he says that “Smell is an amazing aspect of daily life that people tend to underestimate.” Like Joo Won said, it was fascinating to read that out smelling scents come from DNA. It’s also interesting to learn that three percent of our genes are dedicated to smelling. The thing that surprised me the most was that fish are able to smell underwater. It was also interesting to read that humans favor sight over smell.
