Thank you. I want to end with a story. And then, just a comment.

So, several years ago, I decided to look into the brain and study this madness.

And I think that this is really the origin of what you and I call love at first sight.

Love?

Romantic?

What kind of shit research are you doing?

Me..A lot of people might not like this

The Laboratory

All of it? The research, the blogs.

Trouble in love?

See them in love.

Oop, the love police.

I'd like to talk today about the two biggest social trends in the coming century, and perhaps in the next 10,000 years.

How many masks do you need?

The laboratory, Wilma.

Merrick Institute.

Crazy house.

Ectoplasmic research.

In the lab.

I'm doing research for an article...

Baseball tryouts?

We need to discover what those differences are.

Chief Investigator

So this is a different approach.

And so I said, You know what?

(Laughter)

my research.

He worked out of Harvard.

He worked out of Harvard.

He's at my facility.

What are you gonna research?

A Study in Pink .

And love is in bloom on 38.

Love is not treating you well,my friend.

That's an important milestone in any relationship. Isn't it?

Really, for a serial workplace dater.

But I am also trying to make sanitary pad with the good cotton. It's not working.

So building community among those students, very important.

I worked on the environmental consequences of nuclear war.

I started out by trying to figure out what romantic love was by looking at the last 45 years of the psychological research and as it turns out, there's a very specific group of things that happen when you fall in love.

But it's about whether the food is always good no matter when you go.

A few years back a group of researchers at University College London brought a bunch of memory champions into the lab.

Love? I want to fall in love

Oh my gosh! This is incredible. I can't believe this has happened.

So we've got to figure out how they're living their lives.
