Celebrating Dr. Young's scientific and mentoring legacy
Celebrating Dr. Young's scientific and mentoring legacy
Dr. Larry J. Young was a pioneer in the science of love and a world leader in the neurochemistry of social bonding. He is remembered as a beloved teacher, advisor, mentor and colleague. With his unexpected passing in March 2024, Emory University and the scientific community lost a giant in the field of social neuroscience.
