It’s a question growing by bounds as the institution goes through an intensely evolutionary phase of its long history.
And more frequently, the questions of why, where, and how become increasingly important.

Love is in the air for the spring’s entrée edition of Science Study Break.
Dr. Timothy Loving of the School of Ecology’s Department of Human Development and Family Sciences observes the ups and downs of relationships in a special Valentine’s presentation of our ongoing series at the intersection of science and pop culture.
Loving will use scenes from (500) Days of Summer, Moonrise Kingdom, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Crazy, Stupid, Love, among others, to explore the dynamics of romance.
Loving’s research focuses on the relationship support process, with an emphasis on investigating the reasons for — and consequences of — romantically-involved individuals’ conversations with friends and family about the romantic relationship.
The free event takes place in the Student Activity Center Auditorium (SAC 1.402) at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Free pizza (while it lasts) for attendees.
Science Study Break is hosted by the University of Texas Libraries and supported by the University Federal Credit Union.
