Hello friends and welcome to the Beauty and the Biotech Beast, an IGTV/Podcast series. My name is Paige and I am a doctoral student studying cancer biology. This series seeks to showcase the beauty of science by taming it's complexity! Having a broad range of interests has given me a passion for discussing my research, and science in general, in an approachable way regardless of if you are in STEM or not! I hope to make science more approachable as well as provide some tips to those interested in STEM careers! Enough of an intro, let’s get into taming this Beast shall we??

In a world full of social media and Facetune, Botox is a hot topic. But does anyone know how this treatment really works?
