<p>In Episode 2, &quot;Olfaction&quot;, host Alan S. Rudolph is focusing on the evolution of chemical detection across species, from insect antennae to dogs&#39; noses, and how these systems are now being utilized in medical devices like electronic noses and in environmental sensors such as electronic bee hives, among other innovations. Whether to detect a mate, a predator, or a pie cooling on a windowsill, well-tuned olfaction can make the difference between life and death for creatures from the lowest invertebrates to the most modern mammals. Please enjoy this episode of &quot;The Tardigrade Chronicles&quot;!</p><p><br></p><p>Produced by Halteres Associates.</p>
