Regeneron is showing off its science in a whole new light with its “Science Illuminated” series, a unique video podcast that envelops listeners into an immersive, meditative experience through human biology and health.
Each of the five episodes in the series debuted Aug. 3 on Spotify, covering a range of topics including cancer cells, the immune system, antibody-based therapies and more.
Upon pressing play on any of the approximately six-minute long episodes, listeners are greeted by calming music and the meditation-style narration of Regeneron staff engineer Michelle Mazzeo. On the screen, images taken by Regeneron researchers come to life with hypnotic, eye-catching zoom-ins to compliment Mazzeo’s scientific storytelling.
"Take a few calming breaths. Guide your attention to the image before you," Mazzeo says in one proteomics-focused episode, referring to the "vibrant display" of proteins depicted. "This is just one small example of the intricate activity continuously unfolding throughout your body. Allow yourself to connect to this grand symphony within you."
Mazzeo has been working in Regeneron’s labs for eight years and stepped up to the podcast plate coincidentally, after her voice stood out in an unrelated work meeting, executive director of corporate communications Alexandra Bowie recalled in an interview with Fierce.
