First off, though... must state that the overriding sentiment resonating after viewing Dr. Fisher's presentation is one of encouragement. Encouraged to learn of scientists beginning to overlap disciplines, looking for where and how different (yet related) fields of study compliment one another---lending deeper insight into monumental, and potentially controversial topics (love...), rather than upstaging, squabbling (point-counterpoint), challenging, and refuting the findings of fellow researchers; who may or may not share offices, floors, buildings, departments, fields, etc.. The topic of "love" is one so grand, so vast, so personal, so all-encompassing, that reflecting upon subjects as such surely must employ as many sources and/or perspectives imaginable to begin to sleuth out correlating information, and corresponding explanations... seems a daunting task, yes... but one of extraordinary importance. Watching Dr. Fisher comfortably, and confidently present information/knowledge of the complicated topic, leaves one impressed by the wide variety of authored quotes offered, the shared stories of personal experience, and inclusion of contemporary physiological/biological breakthroughs. It is likely through the amalgamation of knowledge, and insights gained from abundant outlooks---that deeper, more profound discoveries will be revealed, and (with any luck) openly shared with citizens the world over.
Ahh...almost forgot...back to the beginning....the concluding quote of Dr. Fisher's (TEDtalks) presentation was heard as, "Love is in us... it is deeply embedded in the brain... our challenge is to understand each other...." A beautiful statement (& sentiment) closing an enchanting, erudite, and entertaining speech. This viewer agrees, for the most part, and with all due respect... wonders if the latter segment of the quote might benefit from the addition of three simple words, "our selves &.."
