How to spot a liar
The whole video revolves around how to spot a lie. She gives statistics of how many times might be told in different situations. She helps you understand what little things give lies away. Those little things that every good lie spotter can notice from a mile away. Things that we usually don’t see as bad things, but they turn out to be great givers of a true lie being told by someone you might trust a lot. It is shown that strangers lie to each other more than they lie to everyone else. This might be as a defense mechanism because they don’t want to be vulnerable, but it happens every time you’re trying to get to know someone new. For example even in marriages in everyday interactions it is proven that you will lie to your spouse. Lying is done all around, it doesn’t matter who you are. Sometimes we don’t want to do it but we’re drawn to do it so it becomes inevitable after a while.

The Intersection of Technology & Biology
The video talks about the relationship between technology and biology and the way we can make one useful to the other. She explains her two points of view between machine and organisms, chisel and gene, assembly and growth, Henry ford and Charles Darwin, as pointed out all contradictions. She tries to explain the work of her and her teammates as they try to move away from assembly and closer to growth. They create 3-D printed clothes that use no linen. An Acoustic chair that absorbs sound, printed out of 44 different properties corresponding through pressure points of the human body not by adding material but by continuously and delicately varying material property. They use the singularity of the objects to make new statements. They create something called chitosan paste which is a material that can be used instead of plastic, this leads to her question of why we are still using plastics when an alternative like this exists. One of the innovations that they create is they transform shrimp shells to be able to make an architecture like a tree, of course it take time and patience but it is worth it this lead to her term of synthetic biology. Also they created material ecology with Cyanobacteria and e coli to make clothing, this two never interact with each other, now they do thanks to evolution by design.
