As I've already announced, my next book will be an interdisciplinary look at why and how we kiss, drawing on neuroscience, classical history, psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and popular culture. Tentatively, it's called 'The Science of Kissing.'
Now I need a volunteer... (
No, not for more experimentation, although real research will begin in a couple weeks
). I am looking for someone interested in helping with an easy assignment. There will be no spreadsheets or equations, and it will probably only take an afternoon. There is no kissing required. A background in languages is a plus, but by no means necessary and you'll be thanked in the acknowledgments when the book is published. Interested? Email me (srkirshenbaum@yahoo.com) with a few sentences about yourself.
