Science of Snogging

BY ROSIE WILBY & AMIE TAYLOR

Why do we kiss? Why do some cultures kiss differently? What happens chemically in the brain when we kiss? Who holds the world record for the longest kiss?

Rosie Wilby and Amie Taylor took their audiences through short comedic, fun and fast-paced performance lectures exploring the science, history and anthropology behind kissing. Afterwards, audience members entered the Kiss-aoke Booth to be inspired by classic smooching songs and anonymously post their own kissing stories into the Snog-box. First kisses. Spin the bottle. Awkward kisses… All kiss donations were received!
