I'm Andrew Huberman, a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine, and today we're going to talk about chemical sensing, specifically our sense of smell and taste, and how they influence our health and emotions.

Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials, where I revisit past episodes for the most potent and actionable science-based tools for mental health, physical health, and performance.

I ran a lab for more than a decade and still teach medical, graduate, and undergraduate students at Stanford.

I'm Doug from Mystery Science, and I taught elementary and middle school science for seven years before joining a startup in San Francisco.

My mission is to demystify consciousness through neuroscience, focusing on measuring aspects of the mind that were previously thought unmeasurable, such as visualization and intuition.

My lab works on issues related to regenerating the brain, curing blindness, and addressing stress and anxiety, which stem from my early experiences.

I'm an artist based in LA and an assistant professor at UCLA, focusing on the systems we use to be a person and interact with others.

My vision extends beyond just creating better drugs; I aim to build a comprehensive understanding of biology at all scales.

There's significant potential for breakthroughs by merging different subject areas, and I've always aimed to be multidisciplinary in my own work, integrating neuroscience, machine learning, and computer science.
