Online lecture tonight (Tues 17 Aug) : Caroline Hooven on Testosterone

[KittenKong]

Not sure if I can ‘promote’ this? But I suppose if one was to search for ‘Discover the potent force of Testosterone’ and ‘RI’ it might well come up...

“Join us this evening and discover the potent force of testosterone. It drives the bodies and behaviour of the sexes apart, however, as Caroline Hooven argues, it is not solely responsible for differences between sexes.

In tonight's livestream talk from the Ri, Caroline will set out how testosterone, in concert with genes and culture, can produce a vast variety of male and female behaviour.

She will argue that the fact that many sex differences are grounded in biology provides no support for restrictive gender norms or patriarchal values. In understanding testosterone, we better understand ourselves and one another, raising questions as to how we might build a fairer, safer society.

Copies of Carole's latest book, Testosterone: The Story of the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us are available from...”

Might be interesting?

There was a total fuck up with the link in the email / Eventbrite page. It didn't get fixed until about 20 minutes into the talk! Many of us were quite cross but these things happen.

The full video is available to watch again though.

That was a good episode. Quite sad that she is also facing harassment and pushback for simply sticking by the science.
