LuxeSci Intro - Hello and welcome to LuxeSci, a podcast to reignite your wonder by exploring the science behind luxury items. Today we’re doing one of my favorite things, an interview! We both absolutely love talking to people who are passionate about what they do and today we get to talk to the very talented Dr. Elisabeth Kugler.
Guest Intro - Just for a little background on Dr. Kugler for our listeners. She has a BS and MS from the Leopold-Franzens Universitat Innsbruck, focusing on Molecular and Developmental Biology and a PhD from Sheffield University in the 3D Quantification and Description of the Developing Zebrafish Cranial Vasculature. She is now the Director at Zeeks Art for Geeks where she specializes in data of all kinds, from bespoke data analysis to scientific art. She is truly melding the artistic and scientific worlds in exciting ways.
