Jess and Vic talk about the topic of moulage - a French word meaning "to mould", but more commonly known as the use of special effects makeup techniques to replicate illness and effects. Jess talks about her PhD journey and her (shock horror!) moulage scepticism that drove her to studying the topic. We discuss some of the theories that relate to moulage use, new research and where the future of moulage might be heading (Jess might have mentioned her obsessive watching of google scholar for moulage papers...).
