Consumer Product Expert and Blonde Rocket Scientist, Dr. Natalie L. Petouhoff Lands New Role: Design Team Lead For ABC's American Inventor

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 4, 2006 -- Inventing a product or service that helps others is a passion felt by millions of creative thinkers. Jodi Pliszka, 39 found her way to inventing via a tried and true route. She needed a solution to a problem she was experiencing: pain and discomfort from wearing a wig. Pliszka suffers from Alopecia, a medical condition that causes her to lose all of her hair. The perspiration and irritation caused by wearing the wig led Pliszka to creating the Headline It, a lightweight, disposable liner worn underneath wigs. The Headline It provides comfort and protection for the scalp from perspiration and oils that go along with serious wig-wearing by not only those with Alopecia, but also cancer patients. "Great products can change lives and this one will," exclaims Dr. Nat. www.headlineit.com

Dr. Nat, a consumer product expert who created The Pink Glove Report, often helps families choose the products that improve their lives. As a former rocket scientist and now TV reporter / guest expert, Dr. Nat hears from consumers all the time. For example, one of areas Dr. Nat's focuses on is on helping women (the majority buyers of electronics -$55B/yr) understand all the techno-speak so they can choose the best product. And as a judge in the Hammacher Schlemmer search for invention contest, Dr. Nat also knew many of the key elements for a winning product.

With her Ph.D. in High Energy Particle Physics from UCLA, coaching students from her Learning Annex Class for Inventors and the ingenuity from innovating products for companies like Hughes Electronics, General Electric and General Motors, Dr. Nat took on this product with her usual dedication and passion. Now the product's marketplace has been expand from wigs to construction hats, soldier's helmets to baseball caps and more. And with Dr. Nat's motivational coaching Jodi has grown from this experience as well, more confident, more collected and determined. Jodi often refers to Dr. Nat as, "Her rock and her very own rocket scientist- everyone should have one! And Dr. Nat's book on inventions? An inventor's must-read!"

While the winner won't be revealed until the final show airs on ABC, May 18th, Dr. Nat declares Jodi's invention a winner. "The key to any great invention is finding a need and filling it. Anyone who eases the suffering of another is a winner in my book and Jodi has done this in spades!" shouts Dr. Nat with the fervor of a geek who loves what she does.
