Top stories on News You Can't Use with foreign correspondent Tony Five: Woman convicted of triple murder after serving a fatal beef Wellington; and Bees attack in French town. Psychology professor Dr. Daniel Casasanto reveals that the idea that lefties are more creative is a misconception. Evolutionary anthropology researcher Dr. Joseph Feldblum explains that chimpanzee babies do better when their moms have strong social connections. On Pet Talk (or is it Vet Talk?) with Dr. Cliff Redford we cover: Extreme heat linked to increased pet dog deaths; Pets get hay fever too; Standing out from the crowd can be a survival mechanism; and Orcas offer food to humans in the wild. (Check out Cliff's podcast here.) Freelance journalist Eric Hal Schwartz discusses how you don't have to be real to score brand deals as an influencer. Political scientist David Macdonald goes over his findings that student loan debt doesn't deter civic engagement.
