The November 2021 #IWFReads Author Chat features Abigail Tucker, author of Mom Genes: Inside the New Science of Our Ancient Maternal Instinct. We all know how babies are made, but scientists are only just beginning to understand what makes a mother.
Through Mom Genes, Abigail dives into the inner workings of maternal instinct and the mom brain. It is dissected through a fascinating lens of the latest research on biology and psychology, and her own personal experience.
Abigail discusses:
- Why mothers are (or are not) destined to mimic their own moms
- Maternal aggression and the protective gene
- How dads are different from moms
- How a crisis like the pandemic can make or break a mom
