Nose Wisdom: How Smell Guides Your Choices

Wednesday 16 July 2025, 5:45 pm - 6:15 pm
Radboud Reflects and Stadseiland Stek Vierdaagsefeesten Festival

Venue: Stadseiland Stek, Eiland Veur Lent, Lent 
This programme is Dutch spoken. 

Have you ever stopped to think about the smell of fear-induced sweat? Or whether scent plays a role in why you feel comfortable around someone?

The human sense of smell is a mysterious and underrated sense, yet it plays a surprisingly significant role in how we experience relationships, interact with others, and even in the choices we make. 

Are our noses capable of more than we think, and should we start taking scent more seriously?

Come and listen to social psychologist Jasper de Groot and discover what your nose is capable of. 

This programme is in Dutch. 

About the speaker

Jasper de Groot is a social psychologist at Radboud University. He researches how social behavior, emotions, and our perception are influenced by (human) scents. He has also contributed to research on loss of smell as an important predictor of COVID-19 infections.
