    Episode 1: The Sweaty T-Shirt Study
    Dec 18 2022

    Welcome to the pilot episode Abstract Thinker, hosted by @mxeliramos, where we do a deep dive into all the fascinating stuff that helps you think beyond the abstract!

    For today’s episode, we're looking at Wedekind et al.'s “MHC-Dependent Mate Preferences in Humans”, also known as the sweaty shirt study, where women famously smelled men’s shirts after they’d been sweated in... and rated if they found that scent attractive or not.
