Welcome, welcome to Science Rules, coronavirus edition.

I'm your host, Bill Nye, and this is the series

that brings you to the latest analysis and the science of this pandemic

to keep you informed, prepared, and calm.

We are still all in this together, my friends.

And when I say we're all in this together, of course, I mean together in the abstract.

She's a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham Young University,

where she studies how relationships and loneliness affect our health.

Dr. Holt-Lunstedt, welcome to Science Rules, coronavirus edition.

May I call you Julian?

Yes, of course, and thank you so much for having me on your show.
