Description

February is the month of love and, as wonderful as that is, there is more biochemistry behind romcoms and the fairytale ending of your favorite Disney movie than you might think. In Part 1 of their two-part series on Love, Drew & Liv sit down with Emory Psychiatry professor, Dr. Larry Young, to discuss the molecules responsible for giving you butterflies as you talk to your crush this Valentine's Day. You will learn how social bonds are formed in every mammal from voles to humans and why everyone thinks their dog is the cutest.

You can find Dr. Young’s book, The Chemistry Between Us: Love, Sex, and the Science of Attraction on Amazon.com. You can follow Drew & Liv on Instagram @scienceinsociety to stay in the know on upcoming episodes, new content, and their ~nearly~ famous science shenanigans.
