A professor at UNB getting recognition for her work in sex research.
Dr.
Sandra Byers, professor of psychology, is internationally recognized as
the most important sex scientist of the last 100 years. Byers tells Tide News, more communication is needed when it comes to sexuality.
"It became clear to me that there are big gaps in our knowledge of
sexuality, that people had sexual issues, sexual problems, sexual
concerns that weren't being well addressed. It's really the gaps that
drove me into this field," she says.
Byers is recognized for
contributing some of the most important information to the understanding
of women's and men's social interactions. She's being awarded the 2013
Alfred C. Kinsey Award by the Society of Scientific Research for
Sexuality.
