Marni welcomes renowned body-language expert Blanca Cobb to the show. When it comes to love, romance, and relationships, she helps singles find a partner who is worthy of love by using and understanding body language. She can help you to identify partners who love, care for, and respect you. Blanca has appeared in more than a thousand TV appearances and has been quoted in hundreds of popular publications.    Key takeaways from this episode:  Simple expressions tell you what a guy is thinking Tips for revealing your feminine energy Sending the right signals to get what you want Body language tips for dating IRL How to dress for a video date   Do His Expressions Match His Words? [2:27] Ladies, if you are dating a guy and he says romantic things that make your heart all a flutter but his expressions and actions don't match up it could be a red flag. Blanca says if a guy wants to be with you he will show up emotionally and physically. The more they want you the more they will touch you in caring and nurturing ways. Think putting their hand out when you are getting out of a car or putting their hand on your shoulder when walking through a door.  Gentle caring touches say a lot more about how someone feels about you than a passionate embrace.  When dating, a guy must have the body language that supports his statements. If they don't match his words don't matter.           When Your Clothes Say Feminine Energy But Your Body Language Shows Masculine Energy [13:01]              It can be difficult to transform into a feminine goddess right before a date, especially if date night turns out to be a Wednesday. And, trying to convince someone of what you are through words or instead of naturally showing someone is just about impossible. Your body language shows everything and guys can get confused about the signals you are sending.   Before a date, practice being feminine and flirty without overcompensating.  Blanca says a relationship goal is normally to have a man love you for who you are and not who you pretend to be. If you want a long-term relationship you must be yourself when dating. You can only pretend for so long and a relationship based on a false persona will make you both miserable. Physicality matters. Blanca's tips for dating: Portray yourself as open.  Sit catty-corner in your chair across from your date, not face-to-face.  Make eye contact but avoid a staring contest. Position your hands in a normal, relaxed position.   What we do with our hands is an emotional barometer of how we feel in the moment.     Sending the Right Signals on a Video Date [29:32] Video dating is here to stay. If a guy asks to video chat, try to make it as natural as a real-life date would be, if possible, look at the camera, not the screen, and have fun! Use a post-it note to remind yourself to look into the camera if you have to.  Dress like you are on a date. Because when you wear something you feel confident in, it will show through on the call. You should also be just a bit more animated in front of the camera during a video date. A playful nature can add some life to a flat projection on a screen.  Remember, everything is perceptible, and everything makes a difference. Transmit wisely.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here! Learn how to attract your perfect equal...watch our latest training here!

But what do I do with my hands? maybe the question I get asked most when media training clients. What you're really asking is what do I do with my body? Your non-verbual cues account for more than 50% of how someone perceives what you are trying to communicate to them. It's what isn't said but seen that's most impactful. Which is why I invited internationally recognized body language expert and TV personality, Blanca Cobb, to go deep on this essential element of Camera Readiness. She busts some common misconceptions and offers ways to connect with others through body language that is sure to get you results. Blanca speaks to various audiences on reading body language, detecting deception, building rapport and trust, negotiating, being influential, resolving interpersonal conflict, and much more.

This week I interviewed Blanca Cobb. She is an internationally recognized body language expert whose approach to sales focuses on the relationship dynamics between sales professionals and their clients. It isn't what is said, but what is seen that can either drive or stall the sales process.

Erik and Blanca discuss the ability to discover the truth by reading body language, using nonverbal cues to build trust, and how to better understand people while striving for greatness! More about Blanca Cobb: My training in body language started when I was a little girl, even though I didn't realize it at the time. I watched people a lot. I paid close attention to faces, movements, and I listened for changes in tones of voice. By watching people, I protected myself. When I figured out when someone was getting angry I was able to get away from the danger. By reading tells, I became an expert at anticipating bad situations. So, you see, I didn't become a people watcher by choice, but rather from abusive circumstances. I never imagined my innate sense to watch people's nonverbal cues combined with my master's in psychology would lead to a career as a body language expert. I trained with leading experts in body language and detecting deception. Over the course of my career, I've been quoted in over 200+ articles and 90+ world-wide publications, such as Cosmopolitan, Oprah, Business Insider, and Daily Mail UK. You know that saying, “being at the right place at the right time”? Well, being at the trial of former North Carolina Senator John Edwards, launched my media career. It was a paparazzi moment, swarmed by reporters wanting my take on Edwards' body language. This interview launched over 930+ appearances on national TV shows such as The Steve Harvey Show, CNN, TODAY Show, Dr. Drew, Dr. Oz, The Doctors, and weekly on the CBS affiliate WFMY News 2. So, what does this mean for you? I've created two programs that'll help you land business in the virtual world. If you're not virtual, then you're invisible. ★ How Not To Suck On Video ★ You know that video is the way to get known. What you do and don't do on-camera can either build or destroy your brand. I'll take your fear out of being in front of a camera and turn it into actionable confidence. I'll guide you through developing ideas, avoiding bad body language, and sharpening talking points. Then I give you the strategies and mentoring to set you up for success every time you're in front of a camera through a repeatable, reliable process. ★ Business Relationship Training ★ Business has gone online, and this means a different way to relate to prospects virtually than you do in-person. Subtle body language signs and voice become more critical in building rapport, making connections, and building trust. My business relationship training focuses on what isn't said, what isn't done, and what is missed, so you'll continue to win business and thrive when live meetings are canceled. www.blancacobb.com clubhouse - @blancacobb https://www.instagram.com/blancacobb/ https://www.facebook.com/blancacobb https://www.linkedin.com/in/blancacobb https://www.youtube.com/c/blancacobbbodylanguageexpert https://www.twitter.com/blancacobb --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Blanca Cobb, M.S. Psy, Body Language Expert & Media Personality How can you spot a liar? How do you when someone is interested in you? How can you tell when someone is angry, happy, or confused under that mask? How can you learn to interpret unspoken messages even more powerfully and accurately, at times, than what we hear? Blanca Cobb has been a people watcher since she was a little girl. From a distance, she’d watch people to get a sense of who was friendly, trustworthy, and approachable. She learned early on that people try to hide what they feel. But, if you pay close attention to the way they move their bodies and react in situations, they can’t hide their feelings. They unknowingly reveal who they are. This is the power of body language. Silent messages are more credible than spoken words. If you know what to look for and how to respond to body language, then you can connect with anyone. And in business and in life, this is your ticket to happiness, success, and peace. Blanca has appeared with such TV show hosts as Steve Harvey, Dr. Oz, Megyn Kelly, and countless more.

And where does body language even extend to? We see it a lot in customer service and I heard a lot about sales in your bio, but just tell us about what different industries and careers does body language impact? Does it impact everyone? And is it a cultural thing? Just share a little bit about how you got into it? And who does it really impact the most? If you really want to be someone who masters body language, especially if you're a customer facing person, what are some key things that you would need to do to ensure that when people come into your presence, even before you speak, they feel welcomed? In terms of let's say, for example, you are trying to improve on your body language. What do you think of all the different components, you would have mentioned examples of hand gesticulations, walking, how you move your hands, facial expression, if you were to maybe give a weighting to the different types of body language, which do you think is the most important and can have the greatest impact on an interaction? Could you share with us maybe what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? Could you share maybe one or two books that have had the biggest impact on you, it could be a book that you read many years ago or maybe something you read recently that has really impacted you? Could you share with us maybe one thing that's going on in your life right now something that you're really excited about? It could be something that you're working on to develop yourself or your people. Could you tell our listeners where they could find you online if they wanted to connect with you further? Do you have a quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you'll tend to revert to this quote, it kind of helps to maybe refocus you or just get you back on track if you got derailed?   Highlights   Blanca’s Journey   Me: So could you share a little bit about what is a body language expert, as I mentioned to you when I came into the Clubhouse room, and I was so eagerly excited when we connected again. I saw you on a TV show maybe a year and a half ago, actually, when I checked my archives, the invitation I had sent to you was from 2019 and for whatever reason, we just didn't get to synchronize our schedules and connect. And I was like this lady, I need to interview her because I talk about body language so much in my customer service trainings so I couldn't believe there was a body language expert out there, somebody who could now validate all of what I've been saying.   Could you tell us a little bit about what is being a body language expert entail? And where does body language even extend to? We see it a lot in customer service and I heard a lot about sales in your bio, but just tell us about what different industries and careers does body language impact? Does it impact everyone? And is it a cultural thing? Just share a little bit about how you got into it? And who does it really impact the most?   Blanca shared that how she got into it is a long story but she’ll make it short. When she was a little girl, she was always watching body language, but she didn't know what she was doing. So she didn't have a very happy childhood, she was an abused little girl and what she was doing is, she was always watching for signs of when the next beating was going to happen.   And those signs were listening to changes in the tone of voice, watching hand movements, just looking at body posture, facial expression, it even got down to footsteps walking down a hall, where I could tell whether this person was happy or not happy, and what could possibly happen.   So paying attention and as you might imagine, she really didn't know who she could trust growing up and other things happened to her as a child also. And so then, when she grew up, she knew she wanted to go into a helping profession and she ended up getting a Master's Degree in Psychology and she has studied with heavy hitters, very well respected professionals in the non-verbal world, as well as a detecting deception world. And she has just combined the two and voila, here she is.   So the second part of the question is impact. And industry, every single industry, every facet of life, no matter if it's a personal or professional relationship and acquaintance, somebody you meet at the bus stop or in the grocery store, it's about body language.   When you go into a store and you're both reaching for the same item, you're using body language, you're trying to figure out, well, can I grab this or does that person have it first? So it's everything. When you're on a telephone, when you just hear voice, how that person is talking, how they're projecting their voice. Do they sound happy? Do they sound confused? Do they sound angry? It's everything and everywhere body language touches. You cannot communicate without some level of nonverbal communication. And if you think about it, even babies when they come out of the womb, they do not know how to talk, it takes a while for children to learn how to talk, however they're communicating, they're communicating through their cries and they stop crying when parents attend to their needs, this is done non-verbally, this isn't done with words. So it's just innate, it's part of who we are.   Keys for Mastering Customer Experience When Using Body Language   Me: So basically, body language affects everyone. Now, let’s bring it to customer service Blanca, because as you know, our audience is all about improving the quality of their customers’ experience. People have a lot of nuances, body language refers to your facial expressions, as you mentioned, your walk, your hand gesticulations, body movements, anything that can definitely send a signal to someone else that would indicate whether their intention for you or against you. And so, in the Caribbean, I don't know if you've been to the Caribbean before, but in Jamaica, for sure, we're extremely expressive people and we have this saying locally that says, “It's not what you say, but it's how you say it.” And that comes over in your body language and your facial expressions, and all that kind of stuff. But if you really want to be someone who masters body language, especially if you're a customer facing person, what are some key things that you would need to do to ensure that when people come into your presence, even before you speak, they feel welcomed?   Blanca stated that that's a great question. So she will start with that part first. It's your body language, because people are picking up your vibes. So let's say you're in a bad mood that day, and then you try to fake it, you might not get away with it as well as you think you can. Because what happens is your body will leak an emotion, you try to hide not feeling well, or just not being into work that day.   But people are going to be able to see some type of leakage in your face and what she’s talking about are micro expressions. So this is with an involuntary facial expression that you make when you're trying to hide how you're really feeling but your body, your face is going to leak the true emotion.   And these micro expressions occur within like 150 seconds, so like within a blink of an eye and people, they might not be able to recognize exactly what they saw but they're going to sense that, they're going intuit it, and they're going to say, “Hmm, this person isn't quite as happy, maybe I don't want to talk to them, I'm going to talk to a different customer service rep.”   So you have to pay attention to your own body language. So you want to have open body language, so what that means is you don't want to stand behind a counter, you stand behind a counter, you actually have a physical object between you and the other person. So subconsciously, people are going to see that as an obstacle, it's so much better when you walk around the counter, and it's you and that person face to face and you have a nice big smile on your faces, you're welcoming them, or asking them how you might be able to help them, you want to make sure that your hands are free, you're not holding any objects when you're initially meeting somebody.   And when you're talking, you want to have your hands out in front of you and present, you want your palms up, when you have your palms up, you're sending a nonverbal message that you're being friendly, you're being straightforward, you've got nothing to hide, because people can see your palms. And then you want to make sure that your body is facing towards them and this includes your feet, your feet takes you in the direction where you want to go. If your feet are facing towards the customer, that's very welcoming, if your feet are slightly turned either to the right or the left, even though you might have your upper body facing the person, they're still going to perceive that you're not quite into that interaction.   Me: So you want to be aware of how you're positioned. Do you think culture impacts how people just manage their body language or how they interact?   Blanca stated absolutely yes. There are cultural differences everywhere because like Yanique was saying in Jamaica, there's a certain phrase that you use, I think you said, it isn't what you say, but how you say it. Or phrasing here.   So, let's say there's somebody from a different country, but that's not as common there. So right there, you have a cultural difference, it doesn't make one right and the other wrong, it just makes it that it's different. And in order to understand people and get on people's level, you have to adapt to what they're showing you and you have to adapt to their culture, that doesn't mean you need to become a cultural expert in their country or their culture. But what it does mean is that you need to have some sensitivity. So the best way to handle this when you're not sure of cultural differences is to meet the person where they are. What this means is, she gives a good example.   What this means is, let's say their energy level or their animation, or their excitement is at a level 3, but you're at a level 9, there's a big difference there from a 3 to a 9, so if you come in at a 9 where you're like really excited, “Hey, it's so good to see you, I'm so glad you walked into the store, Baba, Baba Baba.” And they come in a little lower key, that's going to be a turnoff to them.   She likes to make these analogies to dating. So it's like if somebody comes across too strong, too much, then you pull back, you're like, “Whoa, where's this coming from? This is too much too soon, too fast.” So that's why you adapt to the same level that they are, the level three and the example that she’s giving and then together you can move up that scale. Because what that means is that you have the same energy level, and the same tone of voice and mannerisms as them, go down to the level 3. And then as they get comfortable, and as they start to get to know you and feel comfortable in the interaction, then you can move up together, but it's something that's done simultaneously and it comes across more natural, and it's very sensitive to where they are, and then they feel understood. And when people feel understood and validated, guess what? They end up liking you more.   Me: Agreed. In terms of the example you gave just now, I remember I was watching a video a few years ago, and there was a term that they use called mirroring, would the example you gave in terms of matching that person as to where they are be similar to mirroring?   Blanca stated that it is. And so mirroring, it's essentially the same thing, she’s just use an example instead of using the word mirroring. So she'll give you specific examples of mirroring. So let's say you're talking to somebody, and you notice that they adjust their watch. So then a few seconds later, you don't want to do it immediately, but a few seconds later, then you might adjust the sleeve of your shirt. So it's that similarity. And the reason mirroring works so well, is because and she always say this, “Like, likes, like.” Saying that again, “Like, likes, like.” What that means is people like people who are similar to them. And so, when people feel that you're similar to them, and it's what she was talking about earlier, when they feel like you get them, you understand them, you validate them, and they can't help but like you, it makes them feel good. It makes them feel like there's a commonality between the two of you.   So mirroring absolutely does work. So for example, let me give another example. Let's say they lean on the counter, then you want to wait a few seconds and then you might want to lean on a chair, if a chairs nearby if you're standing up. But the thing as she keeps talking about that timing, you want to wait a few seconds, because if it's like they do something, you do something immediately after, that comes across as creepy, and you don't want to come across as creepy and inauthentic and that's why you wait a few seconds and someone might go, “Wait a second Blanca, you're talking about creepy and inauthentic. If I'm mirroring isn't that action really creepy and inauthentic?” No, it isn’t, at first it's going to feel that way but you have to think about your intent, your intent is to make this person feel comfortable, your intent is to establish rapport with this person, your intent is to help develop trust in this customer service situation. So if the intent is pure, then it isn't creepy or inauthentic, it might feel that way at first. So it's like with any skill, the more you do it, the better you get, the more comfortable you are with it.   Body Language – The Most Important and Greatest Impact on an Interaction   Me: So Blanca we spoke about just how it is that you can adjust yourself as it relates to body language. In terms of let's say, for example, you are trying to improve on your body language. What do you think of all the different components, you would have mentioned examples of hand gesticulations, walking, how you move your hands, facial expression, if you were to maybe give a weighting to the different types of body language, which do you think is the most important and can have the greatest impact on an interaction?   Blanca stated that this is a fabulous question, and it isn't one over the other, it's all of them in unison. Because if you think about it, our body works together, our muscles are all interconnected in our body, even though you may not realize it. You might have a shoulder pain that's really connected to a lower back problem. All muscles are connected. So it's the same thing with body language. If you want to just focus on facial expressions, and you want to come across as more engaging and happy so you have a smile on your face but then you have tension in your shoulders, that’s a disconnect, that’s not going work.   People are going to think that face that you're making of being happy, it's fake and phoney, you know what they're going to focus on the tension in your shoulders. People are going to believe the negative before they believe the positive. That's why it all needs to work together as a symphony of body language.   Me: So then, in order for it to work as a symphony, what are some of the things that you would need to do maybe exercise, eat properly, surround yourself with positive things, do those things help to enhance your body language in a positive way?   Blanca stated that it helped enhance you as a person because it keeps you healthy, it keeps your energy up when you're taking care of your body, so that helps exude positive body language. The best thing that you can do is pay attention to your own body language and although we do not walk around with a mirror with us, and we can look at ourselves all the time when we're interacting, what you do have is how somebody responds to you, that's your mirror. So, if you think you're actually being happy, and you're being engaging, and you're being friendly, but yet somebody isn't responding, and kind, then you have to think a couple of things. Is it the vibe that you're putting out? Or maybe there's something that's off for them in that given moment? So you have to think about that.   And another tip that she would have for people is to record yourself, use a camera, you can use your phone, put it off to the side, have a conversation, practice a pitch, practice how you might interact with somebody and then go back and watch it. Now, the only problem with that when you're doing it by yourself, you might come across a little stiff or awkward on film, or on camera, because you're really talking to yourself, so then practice with a friend or family member or somebody. So that way, it's more of a real interaction and then you can go ahead and eliminate any awkwardness or stiffness that you might see on the replay.   Me: And this would be applicable for salespeople as well.   Blanca agreed. Yes, for anybody when you're dealing with the public, speakers, before you go on stage you practice and video, that's how she coaches people who want to be speakers. She’s evaluating them, pointing out what they're doing great, areas that they need to work on. And then she gives them suggestions on how to make themselves better, but then they also see themselves and they do self-evaluation, that's really important to be self-aware of yourself. Seemingly important. That gives you insight and then you'll see things that you don't even realize about yourself, because we don't walk around with a mirror, staring at ourselves all the time. The video really helps.   Me: And it's good too, because one of the recommendations I give to participants, especially those who has to deal with customers daily, but they need to remember to smile and they have the ability to afford having a mirror at their desk, I recommend, especially if they're working our call centre, for example, that they put a mirror at their desk that helps to remind them that for each caller, they need to maintain a pleasant countenance or at least sound welcoming enough, because you may come off the phone with someone who just really rattled you completely. But it doesn't mean that that energy from that telephone call should transfer into the next call because that person doesn't know what you're coming out of and they're expecting somebody welcoming and approachable.   Blanca agreed. Absolutely and she’s glad that Yanique brought that up because if there is a bad call, and let's say they're going to be jumping on the next call, what they should do is stand up, move around, shake it off, like physically shake it off even if they have a next call coming in, then sit in the chair, and just move because what you're doing is you're getting out of that negative energy that you're feeling at the moment.   It's a way just to make it dissipate, just to make it go away before you jump on the next call. And the idea of the mirror is perfect, particularly when you have a tough call, watch yourself because what happens is you may not even realize that you're rolling your eyes as you're helping the person. You may not realize that you're giving a look of disgust and disgust as if you can imagine smelling something that's like rotting that just smells bad, like super bad, like diarrhoea or vomit and your nose automatically crinkles, that is a look of disgust. And a lot of people will do that.   Another facial expression people make that you can see yourself in it and if you're not in a very pleasant conversation with somebody and you're watching yourself in the mirror, the look of contempt. And the look of contempt is the only facial expression that's unilateral that occurred on one side. And what it looks like is just the corner, one corner of your mouth, it slightly goes up and what that means is moral superiority.   So imagine if you know you're right, as the customer service rep and this person who you're talking to, a customer is really giving you a hard time, you might make that look of contempt and that is something that you should be aware of. And the reason it's so important, is because the negativity that you're feeling in this conversation can carry over to the next person. And also, if this is how you respond when someone's giving you a hard time or when something isn't going well, then you're going to be transferring that body language, those facial expressions when you're meeting someone in real life and then they can really see it.   App, Website or Tool that Blanca Absolutely Can’t Live Without in Her Business   When asked about online resources that she can’t live without in her business, Blanca stated that it's Clubhouse. So for those who are not familiar with Clubhouse, it's only available right now for iOS. This is an audio app, this is where you can connect with people and make connections. And you are actually talking, you're in a room with a lot of other people from all around the world that have similar interests, or people who are learning about a new topic and you're talking just like you and I are talking right now, it's fascinating. She cannot tell you how many people she has met that she would never have met otherwise. She lives on the east coast in the United States. So people from the west coast all the way to abroad, it is fascinating. She loves it. She absolutely loves it, cannot imagine not having that right now.   This is how she and Yanique reconnected, through the Clubhouse app. True.   Me: Very true. It's a really, really good app. But it's been my experience that you have to manage yourself with it because it can run away and your day gets caught up in Clubhouse and you don't actually achieve your goals. So one of the things I've done to manage myself with is I've turned off notifications, because it can be extremely distracting. Every time there's a new room that opens up and it's they're notifying my phone and I'm doing something and I stop and I go, “Oh, this topic looks interesting.” And then you just get derailed completely. But I do agree with you, it's a wonderful application, whoever was the brainchild of it in terms of having audio where people could go in and have live conversations, you can definitely learn and gain a lot of knowledge and insight and as you said, connect with people who you'd have never had the opportunity to connect with otherwise.   Books That Have Had the Greatest Impact on Blanca   When asked about books that have the biggest impact, Blanca shared that for her, it's not a particular book, it is the genre of the book. So for example, this is a particular book Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Chris Voss is an excellent book. He is a former FBI, a hostage negotiator and he has made a book or written a book I should say, about how to negotiate and she loves it because it's a skill that we all need. So for genres for her, it's like understanding people. So psychological books that really help you understand people and help you understand yourself. She thinks that is such an important skill to have because we will always have people in our lives, we will have people who come into our lives and stay and we will have people who leave our lives. But every touchpoint, every person who we have a relationship whether it's personal or professional, makes an impact on us. And we can learn from every one of those interactions and relationships. And so, that's why she goes back to the genre. So there isn't a particular book, it's just the subject.    What Blanca is Really Excited About Now!   Blanca stated that she is really excited to share that she is putting the polishing touches on an ebook, Emotions Behind the Mask is the title of this ebook because everyone is wearing masks, how do you read facial expressions when the majority of your face is covered by a mask?   So it's important because we're going to continue to wear a mask and it looks like it might be until the next year into 2022. But how can you still make a connection? How can you still understand some nonverbals of somebody else in our social distancing world? That is so important nonverbal communication. So she’s super excited about that.   And then she has created a programme how to help people be rock stars on camera, whether they're booked for a TV segment, or whether they're creating their own videos for video marketing, for themselves, their products, their services or their company. So those are two big things that she has going that she loves. She’s very passionate about people having better lives. Again, going back to the beginning of the conversation, she didn't have a very happy childhood or adolescence. And so it's important for her that people have healthy relationships, that they can get along and know who to trust and who has their back. People need happiness, part of your happiness in life are the people who you select to be in your life and that's where she can make a big difference for people.   Where Can We Find Blanca Online   Website – www.blancacobb.com Clubhouse – Blanca Cobb Instagram – @blancacobb Facebook – Blanca Cobb Twitter – @BlancaCobb YouTube – Blanca Cobb   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Blanca Uses   When asked about a quote or saying that she tends to revert to, Blanca shared, “You're stronger than you know.”   In times when we have extreme stress, when we just rethink why am I even getting up in the morning because it's going to be the same day nothing has changed, you have a lot of stress, you have children or spouses who are counting on you, or you're not sure what's going to happen with your job.

Why is there such a range in the number of deaths from Covid -19 between countries? A study of the data across 21 industrialised countries reveals a wide discrepancy. Preparedness and the point at which countries went into lockdown were key factors says Epidemiologist Jonny Pearson- Stuttard Recurring illnesses which show up sometimes months after a Covid -19 infections are being more commonly reported. The Uk’s National Institute for Health research has launched a major initiative to better understand this long term effect of the disease, Candace Imison tells us more. And another reported case of Covid 19 reinfection raises questions about widely held beliefs on immunity Microbiologist Sarah Pitt helps us separate the science from the fiction. We also take a look at a black hole as it swallows up a star or at least at what’s detectable. Katy Alexander has trained radio telescopes at this distant event. Curious CrowdScience listeners have suddenly been struck by the oddity of their behaviours. Elise ponders why she blushes. Thankfully, listener David is a vascular surgeon and knows a thing or two about blushing, as he performs operations on people debilitated by constant red-dening. He has some answers for us, but asks why did blushing evolve? In the past, red cheeks have been linked to necrophilia, repressed cannibalism, and even a de-sire for men to experience menstruation! Thankfully, research has come a long way since then, as blushing experts Peter de Jong and Corine Dijk explain. Scientists believe that it evolved as a nonverbal signal to show someone you’re sorry or that you care about what they think. This would have important for our survival in the group, en-suring we didn’t get into a fight or get kicked out the group. Anand Jagatia gets to grips with blushing and other bodily behaviours – including a question from Thai listener Nitcha who wonders why we yawn as well as a question from Mohamed in Ghana and Biana in Trinidad and Tobago who both asked why people scratch their heads when they think. To answer these questions, Anand’s joined by yawning researcher Andrew Gallup and Sophie Scott as well as body language expert Blanca Cobb. [Images: Getty Images]
