> When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions

One of the most ominous risks for Europe is that of a major change in Atlantic ocean currents.
Recent science suggests it has been greatly underestimated in the past -including by me, having worked on it for over 30 years.

Why don't you actually like coriander?

It's chromosome 11.

Variations in the OR6A2 gene have been identified as the likely cause of why some people like the smell and taste of coriander, while others have the exact opposite reaction.
