Neurobiologist Glen J. Golden explores the remarkable abilities of dogs in detecting infectious diseases with their acute sense of smell. He discusses the development of a 'mechanical nose' to analyze air odor profiles, aiming to revolutionize disease detection. Golden reveals the innovative training methods used to prepare dogs for this crucial task and highlights their success over traditional methods in identifying diseases like bird flu. The potential for these furry allies to act as early warning systems for future pandemics is both exciting and inspiring.
