Dr. Ally Louks' "smelly" PhD Research
Dr. Ally Louks' PhD research took X (formerly Twitter) by storm, creating debates and discourses—serious or funny ones, making her one of the best X users that ever came out on the app!
According to her, the study in her research shows how one's smell in literature is used to...
"..indicate social hostilities, such as prejudice and exploitation. It also connects this to our real-world understanding of the role the sense plays in society."
Meaning, that her research is actually interesting—using smell to know how one's character progresses, may it be in film or books!
