[Physics-talks] You're Invited: Special Seminar with Prof. Luca Turin | June 2 at 11:00 AM

[Arianna Mejia]

Hello,

The Center for Quantum Vibronics in Energy and Time (QuVET) invites you to
a special seminar featuring *Prof. Luca Turin* (University of Buckingham,
UK), titled:

*“The Smell of Phonons: Adventures of an Accidental Quantum Biologist”*
🗓 *Monday, June 2, 2025*
🕚 *11:00 AM*
📍 *Bourns Hall A171*

Prof. Turin will explore a fascinating and unconventional perspective on
the sense of smell—proposing that molecular vibrations, not just molecular
shape, may be responsible for olfactory detection. Drawing on decades of
research, this talk will dive into experimental evidence and ongoing work
that could reshape our understanding of how smell is encoded in molecules.

This is a unique opportunity to hear from a pioneer at the intersection of
biology, chemistry, and quantum physics. We hope you can join us for this
thought-provoking event.
