Dinner en White Coat
Presented by uCity Square in partnership with the Monell Chemical Senses Center
Join us for the 3rd annual Dinner en White Coat! Dine under the stars for an evening of exceptional food, engaging conversation, and the science of taste and smell, brought to life by the Monell scientists who study it every day.
Dinner en White Coat is designed to bring scientists together. The evening is built around genuine scientific exchange, researchers connecting with researchers across institutions and disciplines, and the featured talk will be presented at a scientific level, for an audience of peers.
The three-course menu is inspired by Rediscovering Flavor: A Practical Guide to Smell Loss, the newly released book by Monell alumnus and Affiliated Scientist Dr. Robert Pellegrino, now Assistant Professor of Sensory Science at Texas A&M University. Grounded in the latest chemosensory research, Dr. Pellegrino’s recipes are designed to help people experiencing smell loss rediscover flavor, and the joy of eating. He’ll join us as our featured speaker to share the science and the stories behind the book.
Throughout the evening, you’ll meet Monell scientists, connect with fellow members of our vibrant uCity Square Knowledge Community, and experience firsthand how our senses shape the foods we love.
