Dr. Steven Phelps, Professor of Integrative Biology and Director of the Center for Brain, Behavior, and Evolution at the University of Texas - Austin, will present his research with a talk titled "Care: A natural history of intimacy."
Close social relationships are common in the animal world, and are essential aspects of the human experience. They promote collaboration and engender conflict. When do we consider a relationship a bond? This talk draws from animal behavior, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, to explore how and why bonds form in species as diverse as prairie voles, poison frogs, and humans.
When: Thursday, March 24, 2022, 6:00pm - 7:00pm.
Where: Heartbreak (formerly called Uptown) Coffee, 265 North Lamar Boulevard Suite G, Oxford, Mississippi 38655
