Episode notes

Beauty spent a decade asking us to trust the science. The science has now obtained human skin. This week the briefing covers a platform that keeps donated human tissue alive for four weeks, ten terabytes of proprietary biology, seven hundred and fifty million compounds a year screened by machine, and Lady Gaga as a cofounder. Also, a five hundred and ninety-nine dollar shower filter with a light in it.
