And I am the author of what we're here to talk about today of Friendship, the evolution, biology, and Extraordinary Power of Life's Fundamental Bond and so I both do magazine articles and write books. I have been a journalist for many, many years, but sort of morphed into doing science halfway through my career. So just before we start, I thought you might want to introduce yourself to the listener, tell them who you are, what you do and kind of how you got there.

Her work has also appeared in The Atlantic, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Time, and many other publications.
