Marc Breedlove, East Lansing resident and MSU's Rosenberg Professor of Neuroscience, has organized a series for the fall 2012 semester called "Whom you Love: The Biology of Sexual Orientation." Featuring sexologists from all over the United States, the series will explore how genes and prenatal environments can contribute to sexual orientation in humans and other mammals. As the series website explains, the title of the series "comes from an old saying, 'Tell me whom you love, and I'll tell you who you are.'"
The series will run on Monday afternoons from September through December, 2012. It kicks off with a lecture from Eric Vilain, MD, PhD, UCLA Professor of Human Genetics, Pediatric and Urology. Dr. Vilain's lecture is entitled "Born This Way: Biologyical Tales of Sexual Orientation."
All lectures will be at MSU in Wells Hall, room 115B, beginning promptly at 4 pm. Click here for the complete schedule. To read more about the series, see the MSU news page about it.
Disclosure: I'm one of the speakers in the series. (I do not accept payment for talks I give at MSU because my spouse works as an administrator at MSU.) I think it's going to be a terrific series!
