Tonight's "Science News You Can Use" Radio, 7-8pm PT: Amy Alkon & Dr. Jennifer Verdolin On How Friendships Can Enhance Who You Are And How You Live
Tonight, we start with the evolutionary origins of friendship -- "Let's pair up so we won't get eaten!" -- and then go on to explain some unexpected findings about friendship, along with how to be a friend, how to win friends, how to end friendships that are toxic or have run their course...and much more.

About the show: This is a very special every-other-Sunday-night show with science-based advice columnist and author Amy Alkon and animal behaviorist and author Dr. Jennifer Verdolin laying out science news you can use to solve your relationship problems or just improve your relationships and have a better life.

(And yes, I will still be doing shows on the best behavioral science books on weeks in between.)
