Who have you hugged today? Was it a Hollywood hug or a serious bear hug? There’s more to those embraces than just affection! We send our least touchy-feely reporter to meet a woman who has been deemed the supreme hugger. Then we meet a scientist who studied tiny gecko feet to figure out what makes these critters stick, and a physician who didn’t know of a life he had touched until 50 long years later.
