Scent, Sensors and the Expanded Realm of Sensation, a panel presented as part of the one-day symposium, Headspace: On Scent as Design, featured Majora Carter, founder of Majora Carter Group and Sustainable South Bronx; Leslie B. Vosshall, Head of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior at The Rockefeller University; Susana Soares, Senior Lecturer at London South Bank University; and Dr. C.
