It's the season of Saint Valentine, spring is just around the corner, and love is in the air. People often speak of the emotional quality of love, but the following websites explore this powerful phenomenon from a different angle: the science of love. The first website (1) from the Why Files entices its visitors with candy-colored hearts and 10 pages of intriguing inquiries into love science research on pheromones, chocolate, and more. The second site (2), a BBC Science-Hot Topics feature, covers topics like The Three Stages of Love, The Science of Flirting, and Sensual Signals. The third site (3) from the Discovery Health Channel explores scientific perspectives on falling in love, being in love, and staying in love. This site also links to other features such as Aphrodisiacs: Magic or Medicine. The fourth site (4), from PBS-Springboard, tells us "that scientists are taking love into the lab-and making some remarkable discoveries." This site includes links to an interview with anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher about human monogamy, insights into love from Dr. Thomas Insel's pioneering work, and resources for doing research on the physiology of love. The fifth site (5), from The Naked Scientists, features an article by Dr. Claire McLoughlin of the Royal Society of Chemistry discussing the chemistry of love. The final site (6) from Australian Broadcasting Company Health Report contains the transcript from a 1999 interview with anthropologist and love specialist Dr. Helen Fisher regarding the biology of love.
