Have you tried drying your tongue using a towel and closing your eyes and putting unknown dry food on your tongue? What happened? You cannot taste anything! Watch to find out why this is the case! #STEMvee
***A special thank you to a fellow Deaf STEMist for pointing out that the “famous” tongue map has been debunked and we have revised our video to reflect the most up-to-date information on taste buds. This is a wonderful example of why it is important for our community to support and work together to keep ourselves educated on the latest information in STEM fields!
