  Bill Nye studies the mechanics of smell. Aroma/odor molecules travel into the nose and dissolve in the mucus of the nose. Those same molecules are then picked up by the epihelial olfactory nerve cells. A signal is sent to the olfactory nerve where the smell is recognized by the brain. This week's video is "Come on Use Your Brain (Smell This)"
