Goldilocks explores the interconnectedness of life and matter through systems, time, process, and the fundamental role of temperature. This visual essay presents six seemingly disparate narratives to illustrate this concept. We meet a SETI researcher hunting for extraterrestrial life, a baker striving for sourdough perfection, a Finnish sauna elf sharing cultural insights, a coral scientist working to preserve oceans, a bush pilot observing environmental shifts, and an extreme physiologist testing human limits.

SWEAT!

Ever wonder what all the sweating is doing for ya?

WATCH NOW on CBC GEM - The Nature of Things

TAF is thrilled to have partnered again with Canada's longest running science series, The Nature Of Things in making our latest show, SWEAT!

One of our least appreciated bodily functions, and yet one that is so critical to being human,
sweating is more of a superpower than most people can imagine. Scientists are only beginning
to discover the incredible things that sweat can reveal about the illnesses we have, the food we
eat and the wellbeing of our bodies. The research is cutting edge, with much to learn, and to
debate, over how much sweating is helpful to our bodies.

Through a cast of quirky scientists, surgeons, zoologists, forensic experts, sauna enthusiasts
and exercise fanatics the curious story of sweat is finally told. Anthony throws himself into
experiments that demonstrate what makes it such an incredible coolant, and discovers first
hand the hard limits of our powerful thermoregulation system, and all the incredible ways sweat
can help us learn more about ourselves.

While sweat is a little credited, and often maligned, it is also a massive
evolutionary success story, truly one of the pillars of what makes us distinctly human. Join us, as we all learn to embrace our soggy skin and love our sweat!
