Hair Loss from Hair Care!? W/ Cicely Shillingford PhD
Is hair care really the cause of hair loss that a lot of people attribute it to be? How does this vary, and how do hair care brands navigate this so that this isn't a problem? To help us navigate the topic, this week's episode features cosmetic chemist and hair care product developer, Dr Cicely Shillingford PhD. We get into the science, what's behind hair loss and how hair care may or may not be involved with that, the class action lawsuits we've seen over the years, and more.

Formaldehyde in Cosmetics!? Roundtable with Gabrielle Dwyer and Joe Zagorski PhD
Is formaldehyde in cosmetics something everyday consumers actually have to be worried about? What does the science actually have to say about this?

The right expertises - which are often missed in popular reporting - to help do this topic justice. This convo will give you a run down of what you should know about formaldehyde in cosmetics.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Beauty: What you need to know
This podcast features another roundtable discussion, this time on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), which is becoming increasingly important to the beauty industry. If you are a beauty brand that hasn't heard of EPR yet, you need to change that ASAP, trust me! Some of the potential fines of not complying with the new rules that are cropping up are upwards of 50k USD PER DAY! This convo featured general EPR consultant Dr Michael Washburn, and the beauty industry specific view point of Dr Akemi Ooka, who is the CEO of the trade association independent beauty association, who's been doing a lot of work on the EPR front. My hope is that by the end of this discussion, you'll have a good 101 of what's been happening, and if you're a brand, a good diving board so you can take the right steps to keep up!

A Skin Cancer 101. Roundtable with Ade Adamson MD and David Whiteman PhD
There is a lot to unpack when it comes to skin cancer and preventative measures against it. It's a huge and complicated topic that I think has sometimes been oversimplified to the point where the messages have become problematic... This podcast will give you a 101 on skin cancer, to hopefully help you cut through the noise. This is a roundtable convo, featuring skin cancer researchers David Whiteman PhD and Ade Adamson MD - both of whom are doing some big work in this research area and towards sound health policy to address skin cancer. Covered in this episode: what is skin cancer? how does it happen and how does that vary depending on the cancer and person? how do we prevent skincancer, and how may that vary? what should people know? why are public health guidelines different for this stuff? and lots more!

Expert Misinformation Online/Experts Correcting Experts? ROUNDTABLE
If you're not aware, you probably should be - expert led misinformation is a really big problem that is supercharging some of the misinformation that's out there. So, this is a problem, but… should other experts be correcting them? Is that more damaging because it sows more doubt in science? Inspired by some feedback I've gotten over the years, I figured it was high time to flesh it out in a roundtable to kick off this podcast season. This episode features registered dietitian, Dr Kevin Klatt, toxicologist, Dr Joe Zagorski, and chemist, Dr. Michelle Wong. Interested in supporting the podcast?
