What really goes into your favorite lipstick, nail polish, or skincare routine? 🧪 In this episode, I sit down with Roselin Rosario — a chemist turned entrepreneur, inventor, and patent holder — who takes us behind the scenes of the beauty industry.

Roselin shares her journey from polymer science to creating long-lasting lipstick formulations and effective sunscreens, and unpacks the hidden science behind everyday products we often take for granted. From the brush of a nail polish bottle to the question of whether your lipstick could be toxic, she reveals the fascinating world of cosmetic research.

We also dive into the skincare craze: do we really need 10-step routines, or is it more about self-care and making time for ourselves? Roselin brings a refreshing perspective that blends hard science with compassion for everyday well-being.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s in your makeup bag, questioned skincare trends, or wanted to know how science shapes our daily lives — this episode is for you. 🌟

🔑 Topics we cover:

• The science of polymers and why they matter in cosmetics

• The story behind long-lasting lipstick & effective sunscreens

• Skincare trends: science vs. self-care

• What goes into makeup research (from brushes to formulas)

• Why chemistry impacts our everyday choices

👉 Tune in, and discover the beauty of science in the products you use every day.

We’ve all done it: dropped food on the floor and thought, “If I grab it fast, it’s fine.” But what does science say? 🦠

In this teaser, we put the 5-second rule under the microscope and reveal the truth about germs, food safety, and everyday myths you never question.

What does it really take to work at NASA? And what happens when your dream job isn't the end of the road — but just the beginning?

In this awe-inspiring episode, I sit down with Kevin J. DeBruin — former NASA engineer, space communicator, and science storyteller — to talk about life in and beyond NASA, the realities of space exploration, and how persistence, curiosity, and timing shaped his journey.

From getting rejected twice before landing his role at NASA, to now helping thousands understand the cosmos in simple, meaningful ways, Kevin brings both the humanity and wonder of science front and center.

🚀 We explore his role in major missions like the Europa Clipper, a groundbreaking NASA project exploring one of Jupiter’s icy moons in the search for life.
🌌 Kevin also breaks down how space science actually affects our daily lives — from satellite weather apps to the technology in your phone.
💡 His biggest lesson? You don’t need to be a genius to make an impact in science — you just need passion, perseverance, and the will to try again.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever:

• Faced rejection but kept showing up

• Wondered what it’s really like working in space research

• Felt like science was too far removed from everyday life

• Needed a push to keep chasing something meaningful

We also discuss:
🛰️ What it's like behind the scenes at NASA
📲 How everyday tools like weather apps and GPS rely on space science
🧠 Why science communication matters — and how Kevin makes it accessible to all
⭐ The importance of timing, effort, and alignment in reaching your goals
🌍 How space exploration ties back to humanity, earth, and the bigger questions of existence

Expect stories of resilience, clarity on how science touches your life even if you don’t realize it, and a reminder that big dreams often require more than one shot.

🎧 Whether you’re a student curious about science, a space nerd, or someone looking for motivation to keep going — this episode is a launchpad for inspiration.

✨ Kevin’s journey proves that you don’t have to have it all figured out on the first try. You just need to start — and keep trying until the stars align.
