“Science of Romance” Program at NBPL, Feb. 9

On Wednesday, February 9th at 11 am, Natural Grocers’ nutritional health coach Cheryl O’Dell will talk about the science behind taste, smell, and emotions in a Zoom program called “Sweet Sensations: The Science of Romance.”  Just in time for Valentine’s Day, attendees will learn how our senses engage our brains and bodies, including why humans associate sweet flavors and scents with romance. Chocolate and essential oils might sound like logical parts of this presentation, but beets will also make an appearance. To find out why, please register by going to https://tinyurl.com/bdfwvj6t.
