22.01.2022 "When the COVID-19 pandemic started I knew I wanted to do something about it, so I started volunteering with P&G Purpose to help expand the Australian medical system capacity and flatten the curve. My role has been looking for granting opportunities to finance the different initiatives we've been working on." Meet Pia, a full-time MBA student at @iesebusinessschool, and at P&G, Pia manages grants and sponsorships to finance our many projects. You too can join the team!

19.01.2022 Do you know what does a pandemic smell like? Well, these dogs do. A team at France’s National Veterinary School of Alfort, has been training detector dogs to sniff out traces of Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) since March. Across the globe, these dogs are being trained in UAE, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Belgium.

14.01.2022 In a recent analysis by The New York Times, nearly 90% of patients reported a loss of taste or smell, according to a study. While symptoms of the coronavirus often resemble those of the common flu, losing your ability to smell or taste is what separates the two viruses. A pilot study published in Medrxiv targeted five odors that are distinctly different in their own right, which makes them easier to identify: Peppermint, fennel, coconut oil, garlic, and cardamon. The study, w...hich is in preprint and has not been peer-reviewed, offered participants an at-home test kit which the authors said could be a cost-effective test that can be done safely. This smell test can be used as a swift-tool for community surveys to detect high-risk pockets in a large population. The odor test will enable self-reporting, early identification, and isolation of asymptomatic/ pre-symptomatic cases or patients with mild symptoms. Thus, the odor test will facilitate targeted mobilization of resources for tracing, testing, and isolation of cases in these areas, the researchers wrote. The test was conducted on 49 asymptomatic COVID-19 positive participants and 35 control individuals. After compiling data from the tests, researchers found that asymptomatic patients had trouble smelling two fragrances coconut oil and peppermint. Thirty-seven percent of COVID-19 positive participants reported having trouble in smelling peppermint, while nearly a quarter 22% said they couldn’t smell coconut. It’s interesting because these two scents are pretty distinct in their own right, with each having its own unique scent.
