NC Science Festival: The Genetics of Taste

April 22, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Come visit the UNC Nutrition Research Institute for a taste test!  Learn about how genetics can affect how certain foods taste to us.  Our “tongues-on” activity will allow your curiosity to be stimulated along with your taste buds.

You will interact with our research staff to explore how individual differences play a part in our day-to-day choices. Participants may leave with some new ideas and recipes for healthy foods to try at home. Children will be encouraged to express their “artistic taste preferences” on the Cheatham Nutrition & Cognition Lab’s Trail of Taste through sidewalk chalk creations.
