Description
Happy Halloweek, smellheads. For this episode, we're taking you someplace fascinatingly disgusting and morbidly evitable — DEATH. We spoke with writer and neuroscientist Mo Costandi about that certain je ne sais quoi of the bouquet of death as we delve into what exactly remains of your remains once you've embarked onto the afterlife. We also learn about how the stench of death can be helpful in forensic and psychiatric applications. It's a lot!! This is not for the squeamish and it does get graphic, just FYI. For more science, find Mo Costandi on Twitter at @mocost and https://neurophilosophy.wordpress.com/. Read more about what death smells like here: https://mosaicscience.com/story/smell-death/
