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.

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.

Hi Fancy Folks! We can't believe we're almost through 3 seasons of LuxeSci. It's been so much fun to share our love of nerdy luxury with you.

We wanted to share with you the reasons why we started this podcast. Our goal has always been to increase wonder and broaden curiosity by merging together two seemingly incompatible topics, science and luxury items.

We hope you enjoy this little bit of insight into our creative process and we hope you leave your lab coat behind and come and be curious with us.

Hi Fancy Folks! The weather is warming up and you know what that means: itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow polka dot bikinis. Polka dots are a quintessential summer print. But how did they come about, why do we like them so much and are we the only animals drawn to this bold and graphic print?

Join your favorite curious scientist as we explore the science behind polka dots. We'll learn about how penguins use dots to identify their mates, how the cosmetic industry is taking advantage of new carbon nanodots and even take a trip down memory lane to when I was working in the field. So ditch the lab coat, grab a bold print and come and learn with us.

Hi Fancy Folks!

We were inspired by a Met Gala look for this episode so we're throwing it back to a Season 1 episode all about emeralds. Find out how emeralds are formed, a little about their august history, and of course so cool science surrounding this gorgeous gem.

Hi Fancy Folks!

We're tackling a classic pattern this episode. It's all about stripes! Stripes have meant different things throughout the ages. Now, they symbolize anything from classic, nautical themes to something that hints of rebellion.

In this episode, we learn about why zebras have stripes, what "motion dazzle" is and Dr. Lex meets her match when trying to decipher a paper on charge stripes in graphene. Fortunately, a great explanatory article comes to the rescue.
