Scientific American always tells it to me straight. Three studies to quote at your next dinner party:
Never Say Die: Why We Can’t Imagine Death
The Science of Gossip: Why We Can’t Stop Ourselves
Political Science: What Being Neat or Messy Says about Political Leanings
Hey, thanks for the Sci Am piece on gossip. Tweeted it, too. Doesn’t make me like myself any better for serving and accepting gossip, but I like the scientific justification. You’re a wide-reading machine!
