This document provides guidance on using stories and anecdotes to communicate the impacts of budget cuts. It emphasizes finding local stories about how cuts affect individuals and communities to make the issues more real and memorable. Reporters should be given concrete examples and local sources. Messengers need to be prepared to tell their stories consistently through various channels and provide additional context over time. The goal is to highlight the human impacts of cuts and engage communities in budget discussions.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

thread through all cultures

personalize the issue
• Impact - Anecdotes are a
way for audience to
understand your perspective
– more powerful than text of
your remarks
• Linkage – a story can
personalize an issue much
faster than reciting statistics,
or historical facts.
• Credibility – anecdotes allow
you to “borrow” someone
else’s credibility Graeme Frost, SCHIP Kid
9. Slide
Storytelling – Budget Examples
• Finding new
messengers
• County could lose $262 million
loss in federal and state money
(CCTimes 7/3/08)
• In the end, Nick Robinson just
couldn't afford the Bay Area. And
with pending state budget cuts
threatening the foster care
counselor's programs and salary,
he decided to pack his belongings
and leave Walnut Creek for
Boston.
10. Slide 1
Storytelling – Budget Examples
• Just like me & my family
• Boy's special medical care
imperiled by state budget crunch
(Sac Bee 5/11/08)
• Derek Longwell's wheelchair bears all
the scars of rough handling by a fully
charged 13-year-old boy: scratched
metal frame, chipped paint, worn
treads and a perpetual coat of dust on
the footrest.
• The teen with dark chocolate hair and olive-tinted eyes suffers
from spina bifida, a birth defect that has left him with an
incomplete spinal cord and an inability to walk. But a
committed team of doctors and his devoted parents, backed
by a specialized state health care program, have enabled
Derek to enjoy an active life outdoors.
• Now the state's ominous fiscal forecast is threatening to
disrupt Derek's ability to see his doctors in a timely manner or
get leg braces to fit his growing body.
12. Slide 1
Finding your stories
What stories do you have to share?
• Tell me about ONE person? A kid, a
parent, a community partner.
• Tell me a “win” and tell me a “loss”
• What is the impact on our community
today? Tomorrow?
• Why is this important
– Don’t lose sight of big picture & messaging
– What does this story illustrate?
13. Slide 1
Sharing your stories
Who will tell your stories
• Is this the right
messenger?
• Can they tell it in a way
that is memorable?
• How can you continually
refresh the story with
new facts, new stories,
new wins/losses?
14. Slide 1
Sharing your stories
How will you share your stories (e.g.)
• Print/Booklet: Children’s Defense Fund
• On-line: Mom’s Rising
• Person to Person: You?
• Legislative Advocacy: You and your
partners
• Media: How can you ready your family &
storytellers to present to media
15. Slide 1
HELP reporters help you tell stories
• Make it real

• Root the story in a
local place
• Find an expert
(preferably local)
• Go to the media &
legislators – don’t
wait for them
16. Slide 1
PROVE IT! Here are the basics of some stories
• What have you seen
that makes you proud?
That makes you worry?

the things you care
most about?
17. Slide 1
What Makes a Story?
• Controversy. Patients temporarily close clinics in
protest
• Conflict. Local families confront electeds
• Problem/Solution Dynamic. Advocates & families
provide a family recovery plan
• Timeliness & competitive advantage – What are you
doing now to prepare for May Revise? July 1?
• Access to & reliability of sources – Are you making
yourself available as a local expert?
• People/Personalities. Talk about small investments in
people that can save big for the state – job training!
18. Slide 1
What Makes a Story?
• Dramatic Human Interest. Parent who works third job
and doesn’t sleep to pay for aging parent’s homecare
• Trends. Three is a trend – Third local example of local
families struggling with same bind (jobs, housing)
• New Announcement. Release of new numbers on those
without access to services. Goal: Make it fresh.
• Localize national story (and vice versa). Take a
nationally breaking story and emphasize
its local impact
19. Slide 1
What Makes a Story?
• Anniversaries/ Milestones. – May Revise, July 1 are
certainly important milestones. So is the end of the
school year.
• Fresh angle on old story. Same budget challenges but
we are missing access to federal dollars
• Stories. Impact on local family
• Special event. Can you leverage an event, march or
forum to raise attention/awareness
