While it might not have been until the 1940s that social scientists came up with tools to measure love, it is a lot more scientific than you might think. In this week’s episode, both our storytellers look at their relationships through a scientific lens.
Part 1: Lauren Silverman finds herself drawing parallels between her relationship and steelhead trout.
Part 2: During the pandemic, Grant Bowen is torn between his ailing grandmother and his immunocompromised girlfriend.
