EDUCATION
Chemosensory Science in Your Classroom, and on the Big Screen!
We teamed up with Macgillivray Freeman Films, with generous support from the Ambrose Monell Foundation, to bring forth the IMAX feature film Super Human Body: World of Medical Marvels and related educational content.
As a result of this collaboration, educators, learners, and our partners and supporters around the world now have access to ten short videos about the science of taste, smell, and related senses and a 30-minute overview of research across the Monell Chemical Senses Center.

Monell Science Apprenticeship Program
The immersive summer experience provides talented high school and undergraduate students, particularly those groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences, the space, resources and training to conduct an independent research project. The deadline to join MSAP in 2025 has passed. Applicants will hear back by April 1.
