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.

If you've learned something from this episode, share it with a friend. We'd love to spread the word of that science can be luxurious and not scary.
