39: Fashion - The Secrets of Silk


Listen Later

Hello Fancy Folks! I (Dr. Lex) have been looking forward to this episode since we decided to explore fashion for Season 3. I was lucky to spend an extended period of time in Cambodia during grad school and I got to see silk production live and talk to the artisans that are keeping the process alive there. It was magical.


This episode we explore not only how silk is made but what is is, going down to the molecular level and of course getting into new research around innovative uses of silk, particularly in the biomedical industry.

So put on your fanciest sweats and join us for all the nerdy, fancy fun.
