The Brain On Love
“A RELATIVELY new field, called interpersonal neurobiology, draws its vigor from one of the great discoveries of our era: that the brain is constantly rewiring itself based on daily life.

I post this, not to continue to give life to the story, but because for some reason in our culture we have no problem filling our headlines with breaking news that values immediacy over accuracy.

Regarding the News About Jason Russell of...
Having been a big supporter of Invisible Children over the past six years and having done so rather vocally over the past week, I feel somewhat responsible to address the recent situation involving their founder, Jason Russell.
