Hidden Brain 
About this episode
<p>Arguments and bickering can sour family gatherings during the holiday season. This week, we share tips on how to avoid miscommunication from our January 2018 conversation with actor Alan Alda. You might know him from his roles on television shows like M<em>A</em>S*H, The West Wing and 30 Rock, but in recent years Alda has also focused on helping scientists, and the rest of us, communicate better. His book is <em>If I Understood You, Would</em> <em>I Have This Look on My Face? My Adventures in the Art and Science of Relating and Communicating.</em></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
