I loved this conversation with Professor Sandra Langeslag where we talk about the science of love. She shares her research on ways that we can identify and navigate the various stages of love.
Bio:
I earned my Ph.D. in Biological and Cognitive Psychology at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in The Netherlands. I moved to the United States in 2011 to become a post doc at the University of Maryland. I became an Assistant Professor in Psychological Science / Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of Missouri - St. Louis in 2014. I was promoted to Associate Professor last year and I am now also Associate Chair of the department.
I have three research lines. I study how 1) love improves cognition such as attention and memory, 2) love distracts people from other tasks such as homework or work, and 3) how we can increase or decrease our love feelings using cognitive strategies.

The Love Launch
What does love mean to you and how can we experience more of that in our lives? These are the questions that I explore in the Love Launch Podcast. Given all the chaos and uncertainty in the world, and their own hangups, people creating loving relationships is nothing short of a miracle and a triumph. I'm talking with experts, entrepreneurs, creatives, and everyday people about stories about does and doesn't work for creating relationships that work and are truly high-value.
