Speaker: Ali Harwood @HarwoodAliArt Talk Title: Why 23?

Speaker: Thomas Richardson Talk Title: Marrying your mother: the role of sexual imprinting on who we find attractive
Sexual imprinting, the idea that we might find someone more attractive because they resemble our opposite sex parent. Originally proposed by Freud as the Oedipus/electra complex, researchers have discovered that many other animals such as birds prefer partners who resemble their opposite sex parent, leading them to update the theory with a new, biological basis, dubbed “sexual imprinting”. But things evolve for a reason, raising the question: Why do we sexually imprint? What is it’s purpose? @RichieEvPsych
Speaker: Peter Schriewersmann Talk Title: Complexity – Complex matters deserve complex debates
Speaker: Tom Williamson @skepticCanary Talk Title: The rule of tincture.
