I chose to read the scientific article, “Recognizing the beauty of science, and the science behind beauty”, from Nature.com. This article explains an interview with Lisa Napolione, Senior Vice President, Global Research & Development at The Estée Lauder Companies. She explains the importance of the scientific aspect behind her beauty line with ESTEE LAUDER and why science can be beautiful. I plan to incorporate the science behind the beauty makeup line and also explain the importance of why science can be beautiful and no so serious sometimes.

The two podcasts I may choose to work with are Julia’s and Syris’s.

I chose Julia’s podcast because it stuck out to me that someone can connect with a stranger, that they will most likely never see again, and consider it beauty. It was a overcast, cloudy day, and Julia’s RA found beauty in the situation, unitentionally to create beauty.
I chose to connect the unintenional aspect of Julia’s podcast to when Professor Emerson stated that people, “seek out [beauty] unintentionally”. Professor Emerson too, took an unfortunate situation in snowy weather, to find some goodness and beauty out of the situation expressed in Syris’s Podcast.
These two podcasts inpired me to try to be able to notice the beuaty in everything. It is not someoething that you have to do to make something have the quality of beauty, but that it is unitentional.
I like how you took away something from the podcasts and how you explained this. How you learned to be able to notice beauty in anything.
I like your plans for your essay. I think the point that anything can be beautiful is very true and the fact that your article highlight science as beauty is a great start. The two podcasts you chose are both very solid choices to help argue your point, because they both highlight different examples of beauty. The only thing I would be weary about is that both your examples from the podcasts are very traditional examples of beauty whereas your article argues that science something rarely seen as beautiful is.
