Did you know that when it comes to romance, we have quite a bit in common with prairie voles? When they bond, their brains release a flood of chemicals similar to what we feel when we're in love. And if a bonded vole loses its partner, it experiences something akin to a heartbreak. Love really is universal, eh?

WORD OF THE DAY

Resurge

To come back. For example: ‘My love for her resurged when I saw her again.’ Pronounced as RI-SURJ.

Quote of the day
