What does a wildlife biologist do to prepare for a day tagging jaguars in the Pantanal? What is the neuroscience behind our attraction to red lipstick? And what does ethologist and actress Isabella Rossellini find beautiful about turkeys? In the first episode of Season 2, we’re exploring the hidden role beauty plays in scientific research. First, we’ll hear from wildlife biologist and presenter Lizzie Daly about her job tagging jaguars in the wetlands of South America, the importance of scientific communication in environmental research as well as how she protects her skin in extreme environments from the Amazon to the Arctic. Next, we hear from producer and neuroscientist Eva about how our brains process color, as well as how color evokes certain emotions within us. Why, for example, do we associate blue with sadness? And what does the color red stir in us? Lastly, we head to Brazil to hear from Juliana Farias, L'Oréal Groupe’s Head of Research and Innovation in Latin America, about how the country’s history and climate has turned it into an open-sky laboratory for scientists and researchers studying hair.
