Looking for a source to discuss the neurobiology of romantic love, parenting, sex, attraction or monogamy?  Someone to discuss neuroscience and its influence on society?  Perhaps you want to learn more about the science of risk-taking–or learn how to make better decisions under risky conditions.  Kayt is available for radio, print and television spots.  She has appeared on television segments for ABC Nightline and FoxNews’ Health Talk with Dr. Manny as well as been quoted in publications from around the globe.

Kayt is also available for public speaking engagements.  She graced the stage at TEDMED and Chicago Ideas Week in 2014 with some of the world’s greatest scientists, thought leaders and innovators–and has also given talks at universities, book stores and museums across the United States and Canada.  Her talks run the gamut–she’s covered the science of love, the brain on orgasm, STEM careers, risk-taking, the importance of play, the craft of writing, the modern juggling act of parenthood and how to travel with young children.

Kayt is represented by APB Speakers.  To learn more, or book an event, visit her APB speaker profile.
