Dr Valerie Curtis was a global expert in behaviour change. I had the privilege of meeting her during the course of my work with the Swachh Bharat Mission. She called herself the world’s first Disgustologist. And sure enough, as she traveled the world, spreading the messages of Sanitation and Hygiene, she carried a rather realistic and disgusting piece of plastic poop in her handbag. So realistic that, even though we all knew it was plastic, none of us could really eat if it was lying on the table. Val probably knew this and so, naturally, she never forgot to bring it along to the buffet table.
