�������ϲʿ����������ͼ Valentines overflow this week and next, with a �������ϲʿ����������ͼ LIVE featuring psychology professors discussing relationships and attachment in people and animals, our “Aggies in Love” map and special-edition red �������ϲʿ����������ͼ sweatshirts. Oh, and some “real” Valentines, too, well, make that digital Valentines — all of them that fit �������ϲʿ����������ͼ to a T, as in “Love you from my head to-ma-toes” — to send by text or email, or to post to social media.

�������ϲʿ����������ͼ LIVE

Spring is coming, and the stores are full of red hearts and candy. What does science have to tell us about how we fall in love, and with whom? What makes us swipe left or right, and does that have anything to do with successful relationships?

Join us for �������ϲʿ����������ͼ LIVE this Thursday (Feb. 10) for a discussion of these questions with two faculty members from the Department of Psychology:

• Paul Eastwick, who runs the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory, investigates how people initiate romantic relationships, and the psychological mechanisms that keep couples happy and committed to each other. 
• Karen Bales, a core scientist at the California National Primate Research Center, studies the neurobiology of pair-bonding and biparental care in prairie voles and titi monkeys, species that form lasting monogamous bonds. 

The conversation, hosted by Soterios Johnson, will be streamed live on and beginning at 11 a.m.

Questions can be submitted via Facebook and Twitter either in advance or during the show.
