To wrap up this semester of the #BiologyofLove and #BiologyofSex, today we'll be discussing possible reasons for why we love. Romantic passion as an idea is almost universally understood, but the reasons for this passion are unclear (1).

Let's talk #SexEd. As a future science educator, I believe that comprehensive sex education is important for developing students' understanding of sexual and reproductive health, their ability to practice safe sex, and expose them to what healthy sexual relationships look like.
