I havenโt been sharing interviews here, but it was an absolute delight to join Kate Lister on #BeTwixtTheSheets to talk about the #history & #science of kissing.
Yes, Iโm a scientist focused on policy, sustainability & communication, but 12 years ago, I wrote a book called The Science of Kissing. We contain multitudes.

This is the kind of thinking we need!
I'm of the opinion that we could have taken a good, long look at concepts of 'work' and 'productivity' during the COVID lockdowns, and we didn't do it. So, here we are, mired in 'back to normal' and slavish devotion to 'productivity.'
