101: The Ways We Learn

https://www.101thepodcast.com ❝ Sinéad Burke is doing a PhD in human rights education at Trinity College Dublin. In episode 2, Sinéad indulges a long-held ambition – to learn how to make perfume. We meet her in the Dublin store of parfumier Marija Aslimoska. Smell can often evoke memory. A hit of a fragrance can immediately connect you with a past event or feeling. Conjuring new scents that capture the imagination is the job of a parfumier. Marija blends craft with science as she and Sinéad play with scents both natural and synthetic. Jane and myself also talk to neuroscientist Shane O’Mara (TCD), to learn more about how memories are formed but also to reflect on how knowledge is more than just remembering things. ❞ —Shane Bergin Credits: Hosted by Shane Bergin | Jane Chadwick Featuring Sinéad Burke | Marija Aslimoska | Shane O'Mara Produced by Bureau Music by Chris Zabriskie Supported by Science Foundation Ireland
