University of New Hampshire psychology professor Rebecca Warner makes it her business to be aware of all aspects of human interaction, and sometimes animal as well. She studies and measures communication- the rhythms and patterns of speech, the content the unspoken communications, and the goals people try to achieve through personal interactions. Rebecca will talk about what makes a conversation.
