The research of Prof. Sachiko Haga-Yamanaka, an ETOX faculty member, Ted Garland and their collaborators was recently highlighted in UCR News and in various news outlets. Their research showed that one's sense of smell may play an important roll in the motivation to exercise. The research suggests that the perception of specific smells can influence the exercise habits of different individuals. Their work is continuing in an attempt to identify the specific chemicals involved. More information on their research can be found at UCR News or in Psychology Today. Our congratulations to Sachiko and her co-investigators for their work and its recognition.
Update: Their work has also now been highlighted in Chemical and Engineering News.
