In honor of Valentine's Day, we devote this week's show to the complex, often mysterious realm of "Chemistry." We'll meet a scientist using chemistry to improve life-saving drugs. We'll learn more about the science of blind dating and we'll chat up D.C.'s cocktail "mixtress" about how certain liquors, herbs and fruits can aid in amorous advances.
