Dr. Cordelia Running, a chemist and a psychophysicist, uses flavors and sensations to understand human behavior and improve human nutrition. As an assistant professor of Nutrition Science at Purdue University, Dr. Running studies Saliva, Perception, Ingestion, and Tongues (The SPIT Lab) to help people to stick to healthy yet palatable diets. Her recent work emphasizes how saliva might adapt to bitter, healthy foods over time, trapping some of the bitter molecules and reducing the bitterness. Her research is funded by NIH, and she has multiple publications on the topics of food flavor, acceptability, structure, and the biochemistry of oral sensations.    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/crunning/ Faculty Page: https://www.purdue.edu/hhs/nutr/directory/faculty/running_cordelia.html Twitter: https://twitter.com/spitlab   To learn more about Aigora, please visit www.aigora.com
