Biography
Bartoshuk grew up in Aberdeen, South Dakota.[2] She received her B.A. from Carleton College and her PhD from Brown University.[3] Her research explores the genetic variations in taste perception and how taste perception affects overall health. Bartoshuk was the first to discover that burning mouth syndrome, a condition predominantly experienced by postmenopausal women, is caused by damage to the taste buds at the front of the tongue and is not a psychosomatic condition. She was employed at Yale University prior to accepting a position at the University of Florida in 2005. She was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1995.[1] In 2003, she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.[2]
