Dr. Helen Fisher

Chemistry’s Chief Scientific Advisor

She’s a world-renowned biological anthropologist, author and expert in the science of human attraction. She spent the last 3 decades figuring out why love makes us go weak in the knees and causes our hearts to skip a beat. Her research has shown that we are searching for someone to complement us. And, that’s why we recruited her as the brains behind our personality profile.
