Jim Pfaus – Unlocking the Science of Sexual Behavior

Jim Pfaus - Unlocking the Science of Sexual Behavior Tyler Gleckler 1:05:41

Today I’m speaking with Dr. Jim Pfaus, Professor of Neuroscience at Charles University in Prague, and the Research Director of the Center for Sexual Health and Intervention at the Czech National Institute of Mental Health. Jim’s research focuses on the neurobiology, neurochemistry, and molecular biology of sexual behavior, and examines how the brain’s neurochemical and neuroanatomical systems are organized for sexual arousal, desire, pleasure, and inhibition. Over Jim’s more than 30 years as a professor, he has received countless awards for his work as both a research scientist and science communicator, and his work has been reported worldwide in popular media including Time, Scientific American, the BBC, and many more.

Tyler Gleckler Podcaster

My name is Tyler Gleckler, I am a chemist by education, and the host of the Wiser Tomorrow Podcast. I am part of a generation who grew up watching and sometimes even idolizing online figures who championed science, education, and intellectualism. From Dr. Philip Mason to Professor Richard Dawkins, my teenage years were heavily influenced by these people and their ideas, and am evidence of their impact. In my search of a happy and productive career, I’ve come to realize that my dream is to share knowledge, foster curiosity, and highlight those who lead by example.
