Evenings on Campus

Today at 8pm

‘Science of Love’ There are several forms of love, different states of being and relationships. Each person has different perspectives and opinions. Scientists have also tried to find out how people are attracted to each other and what effects love has on us.

Some of the science covered will include the neuroscience, genetics and chemistry behind love. How does oxytocin affect the brain? Is it more than chemicals which allow us to bond more to other human beings? How does the socio-emotional aspect affect oxytocin levels in the brain? Is there a dark aspect of love we are not aware of?

Science of Love is Café Scientifique’s fourth year running in Evenings on Campus. Café Scientifique is an activity of the Malta Chamber of Scientists. Sponsors include Sammy’s (by Culinary Forward Malta), Evenings on Campus, the University of Malta and the Koperattiva Kulturali Universitarja.

Entrance is against a donation. For every €5, you will get a free drink and a chance to win a dinner for two at Sammy’s (by Culinary Forward Malta). Donations will go to the Research Trust of the University of Malta (RIDT).
