Amplified Oklahoma Show Notes

June 17, 2016

In this episode, we're discussing love. June is always a popular wedding month across America, so let's take a look at some unique Oklahoma love stories. Listeners will hear oral history interview excerpts from Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Vance Trimble and Tulsa Public Schools educator Chloe Brown. We'll explore some of the neurobiology of mammalian monogamy and parental bonding in prairie voles with Cornell University's Dr. Alex Ophir. Listeners will also enjoy love in the OSU Library with a special engagement story featuring OSU alums Anna McDougal and Matthew DeKoning.
