Helen Fisher, Ph.D. Biological Anthropologist, is Senior Research Fellow at The Kinsey Institute and Chief Science Advisor to Match.com.  She uses brain scanning (fMRI) to study the neural systems associated with the sex drive, romantic love, attachment, rejection, love addiction, and long-term partnership happiness. She has written six books on lust, romance and attachment now sold in 25 countries--among them: WHY WE LOVE; WHY HIM? WHY HER? and ANATOMY OF LOVE (2ND ed).  Fisher is currently studying the biological basis of personality and partner compatibility—using her questionnaire, the Fisher Temperament Inventory, now taken by 14 million people in 40 countries.  She also studies courtship trends in the digital age, using a representative sample of 45,000 single Americans.
