#UKSN2015 that's the end of a
fantastic meeting. Looking forward to next year.

#UKSN2015 @Dr_JamesLogan: the pathogen (malaria) in the mosquito can affect the behaviour of its host.

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 @Dr_JamesLogan: twin studies show attractiveness to biting insects is heritable. http://t.co/xLWxpFNYkr

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 @Dr_JamesLogan: nonanal, decanal, geranylacetone are amongst the repellant chemicals produced by the "untasty" to mosquitos

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 James Logan: @Dr_JamesLogan: re mosquito bites "there's always one person who doesn't get bitten"

#UKSN2015 Julia Gallinger: ABCC11 SNPs reduce malodour precursors in the sweat.

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Julia Gallinger: ABCC11 - a determinant of earwax and body odour

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Julia Gallinger: to be a pilot with Hainan (China) airlines, one has to have no body odour & are required to pass a "sniff test"

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Julia Gallinger: psychologically triggered sweating is over the plams, soles and axillae. Cooling seat is over the whole body

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Julia Gallinger: Beiersdorf AG: ABCC11 - the key human anti-odor target

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Caroline Allen: body odour with the subject's own preferred fragrance is easier to identify than with an assigned odour.

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Caroline Allen: fragrance does not appear to mask the personal door fingerprint

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Caroline Allen: each human has a unique "odour fingerprint".

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Caroline Allen, Stirling University: Effect of fragrance use on discrimination of individual body odor

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Jessica Freiherr: intranasal insulin improves spacial/odour learning in delayed tests but not immediately.

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Jessica Freiherr: anorexogenic effect of intranasally applied insulin is mediated by modulation of olfaction peripherally

[UK Semiochemistry @UKSemiochemist]

#UKSN2015 Jessica Freiherr: intranasal insulin is known to improve declarative memory and learning (and reduces appetite for chocolate)
