  • LuxeSci Classic - Gold
    Jul 19 2024

    The LuxeSci recently spent time in Greece again and we were reminded about all the deep and enduring artistic traditions here. For the next few episodes we'll be revisiting classic LuxeSci episodes with a Greek twist, episodes that came to mind as we roamed around this beautiful country.

    The first episode is all about gold. In the National Archeological Museum in Athens, there are stunning gold objects found in a tomb, including gold burial masks. Goldsmithing has ancient roots in Greece and the artisans there still use some of the ancient techniques.

    We hope you enjoy this episode on a useful, beautiful and fascinating metal.

    Since this is an old episode, links mentioned may not accurate so see below how to find us on social media.

    If you've learned something from this episode, share it with a friend. We'd love to spread the word of that science can be luxurious and not scary.

    Jun 21 2024

    Hi Fancy Folks! It's the last episode of Season 3! Thanks to a recommendation from Science Actually, we're exploring the ubiquitous summer accessory, sunglasses.

    Join your favorite curious scientists as we explore the science behind sunglasses. We'll revisit eye anatomy and why and how sunlight can damage the eyes. We'll also learn about lenses and discover if sunglasses really are a good disguise. So ditch the lab coat, grab a cocktail and come and learn with us.

    This is our last episode of the season but we'll be back over the summer with our interview series. This year, we're talking to other science communicators about their favorite luxury item and we've got some really fascinating and unexpected ones.

    If you've learned something from this episode, share it with a friend. We'd love to spread the word of that science can be luxurious and not scary.
