In this episode, journalist and author Lydia Denworth explains how there’s nothing more fascinating for her than combining science and storytelling. Lydia describes the stories behind her first book, TOXIC TRUTH: A SCIENTIST, A DOCTOR, AND THE BATTLE OVER LEAD, and her subsequent book, I CAN HEAR YOU WHISPER, a personal account about deafness that involves her own child. In the final segment, Lydia gives us a sneak peek into her next book, which looks at the science of friendship.
