This was a fascinating presentation! I have nopales all around my city with these lil buggers on them and i always knew if you squish them, they leave your hands red for days! but now i know the more intricate history of the dye, great video and talk!
I am rather happy that a serious scholar as Elena Phipps devoted studies to red cochenilea. Too many times some highly important carpets, rugs or embroideries are presented as a kind of national product ... and each country claims it. This concept does not suit to reality. Most of times, for kings and Court, the wool or silk were coming from a region, red dye from Georgia or Armenia, design from somewhere else .. etc ...
I really wanted to watch this but I can't stand to hear this womans shaky voice. She sounds as though she's scared to death and can't get her breath! Really, if your job is so scarey, find other employment.

Excellent research on the cochineal red, thanks.
Excellent information. Loved the choice of examples and made me more aware of the complicated history behind them.

where might I get a transcript and bibliography for this talk?
good info, bad presentation (if you're gonna read the whole time, at least read it properly!)
Judgemental statements - (make you - feel?)

Larry, this woman is a scientist, not a public speaker.
