What is the talk about?
Birth control has revolutionized fertility control, but its effects extend far beyond reproductive health. The powerful hormones in birth control influence billions of cells throughout the body, particularly in the brain, shaping stress responses, eating habits, romantic attraction, and more. Join Hot Science - Cool Talks for an enlightening discussion with Dr. Sarah Hill as we explore the hidden impacts of birth control and empower everyone to make informed decisions about their health and well-being (Recommended PG-13)About our presenter
Dr. Sarah Hill is an award-winning research psychologist and psychology professor at Texas Christian University with expertise in women, health, and sexual psychology. At the intersection of evolutionary biology, social psychology, and neuroscience, Dr. Hill’s research is aimed at understanding the role that hormones, the immune system, and the environment play in relationship- and health-behaviors, especially in women.RSVP here: https://www.esi.utexas.edu/talk/brain-on-birth-control/
