Helen Fisher: The brain in love

Dear Dr. Fisher,

your work is very intriguing and engaging.

I love what you are doing, and wish my friend could be more like you and less like a religious fundamentalist.

Please do not let Match.com reference you on their website.

They are not interested in relationships, love, or human interpersonal dynamics.

They just want people's money and go out of their way to provide an inferior online dating service (rather than a good one).

Disassociate yourself from Match.com

Beyond that, carry on

A good speaker should be captivating and engage with the audience. Watching someone read something can be ok, but it's not appropriate for nor what the audience is expecting (or wanting) in a TedTalk.

Ugh. Please don't just read when you give a Ted Talks - I can't stand to just watch someone read.
