Remembering Helen Fisher, Anthropologist of Love

We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Dr. Helen Fisher, a beloved friend and esteemed colleague. Helen’s contributions, especially her profound discussions on the nature of love and the impact of modern technology on our relationships, have left an indelible mark on Open to Debate. Helen was a beacon of insight and empathy, whose work challenged us to understanding one of the greatest mysteries of the world: love. Her passionate arguments on whether true love is a myth and if dating apps have killed romance remain among our most thought-provoking discussions, and we encourage you to revisit her wisdom and ideas. Helen’s legacy will live on in the countless lives she touched, both personally and professionally. We offer our deepest condolences to her husband, John Tierney, and the Fisher family.
