What’s on Bianca Jones Marlin's mind? In a
groundbreaking study, Dr. Marlin showed how and where the hormone oxytocin—sometimes
called the “love drug”—changes the brain. At the next Secret Science Club, she explores
love, trauma, family bonds, epigenetics, and how brain research may lead to new
treatments and cures.
