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.

Bonus Episode - Why LuxeSci? - Our Origin Story
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.

46: Fashion - Polkas, Dots and Penguins
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.

44: Fashion - Stripes and Dr. Lex Meets Her Scientific Match
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.
