It's not clear to me that having a simpler face facilitates conveying facial expressions. Why would this be so? For example, it's easier to arch my eyebrows if I have eyebrows, and it seems more effective if their color contrasts with the adjacent regions of my face.

About once a month at Sigma Xi headquarters, we liven up the lunch hour with an American Scientist Pizza Lunch talk. In these informal lectures, scientists describe new research to nonscientists. The series is light on jargon but heavy on solid science. Each Pizza Lunch offers an in-depth look at its subject, whether it's bedbugs or the smart grid.
