Would anyone like to contribute an audio question for the Beauty Brains Show?

I’m pretty exhibitionist… (how terrible does that sound, I’m an open person sounds better no?) but I don’t think the mic on my laptop works…

Oh I did forget about my old frenemy Siri.

I’m sure there’s a voice distorter app available

I just tried it and interestingly, my recorded voice sounds nothing like I sound in person. No Darth Vader app needed.

Randy I just sent it into the beauty brains email. Hope it works for the show

I’d like to contribute, but I need to formulate a good question first!

Hi brains, I have a question, but…well, I am shy! Can I ask it it writing? I just hate the way my voice sounds on tape.

My question is for Randy, I read your profile, and it says you’re also an inventor and futurist. Where do you see the regenerative medicine (IE stem cells, and the incorporation gene therapy, or ideas like HAM jelly), being incorporated into cosmetic science? For example, will we see a moisturizing sunscreen, that also protects from not just free radicals, but viruses and retroviruses? What kinds of cosmetic innovations, and hopefully cosmetic industry revolutions will we see in the future. What kinds of ideas do you have for cosmetic design for products, as well as treatment?

Oh, where do I call in, I will go ahead and ask.

 I did mean Perry’s profile sir, lol I’m sorry, I was so focused of trying to word my question in a way that made sense. I realize it isn’t the typical problem answer solution, and that’s why I was so curious why I wanted an insider’s perspective. I understand if it’s an issue to answer the question on the podcast, but if you two ever find that Left Brain Right Brain or Cerebellum feel the need to take a crack at it, I would deeply be interested in what any of them have to say.

 I do actually have another question however for either of you. With the advancements we’ve made in skin patches that for all intents and purposes, is basically new skin, why aren’t scientists testing products on these skin patches and a rig to produce nerves and blood vessels to be a mock of real human flesh. I know lab rats are genetically close to humans, after in vivo trials, but it’s been proven their skin still reacts differently in some ways, to ours, and then when you consider that each human ethnicity’s skin reacts differently to certain chemicals, rat skin is simply not close enough for safety or efficacy testing. I mean maybe not human skin patches, or a crazy Myth buster styled rig to simulate the behind the scenes functions of the skin, but something in that ball park. My point is rats seem not only out dated for testing, but kind of unsafe, in this new age for testing, and why hasn’t there been some engineering to change it?
