More About Duana Welch
Duana C. Welch, Ph.D. (pronounced DWAY-nuh; born Nov. 14, 1968) is the relationship advice columnist known for applying social science research to reader questions about a variety of romantic-relationship issues. Her blog, “Love Science: Research-based relationship advice for everyone” is a best-seller in the relationship and behavioral science categories at Amazon.com, and is also available free at www.LoveScienceMedia.com.
Duana Welch earned her Ph.D. in developmental psychology at the University of Florida, Gainesville in 1998. Her prior psychology degrees included a master’s (UF, 1995) and a bachelor’s (Southwestern University at Georgetown, TX, 1991). Upon attaining her doctorate, Welch served as an assistant professor at California State University, Fullerton (1998-2004), where she taught and conducted research that resulted in numerous peer-reviewed scientific psychology articles. While there, Welch was twice voted Professor Of The Year by CSUF psychology students (2001; 2003). A family illness resulted in her return to her home state of Texas, where she became an adjunct professor of psychology at Austin-area colleges and universities prior to launching Love Science in 2009. She continues to enjoy teaching psychology at Austin Community College. Additionally, Welch has a decade of experience in private consultations with clients who want to find, date or commit to a long-term partner.
Like other advice columns, Love Science answers reader queries about any aspect of romantic love. However, Love Science is the only relationship advice column based in social science rather than opinion, experience, clinical expertise, politics, or religion. It is also the only such blog where the author regularly answers reader questions not only in the posts, but also in the comments after each post, so that readers have an on-going, respectful dialogue with the author and with one another. Finally, because posts are regularly sent to the scientists whose work Welch uses as a basis for the responses, Love Science emphasizes accuracy to make sure that the advice is actionable for readers.
When not responding to reader queries, Duana Welch enjoys living in Austin, Texas, where she resides with her husband, children and assorted critters. Her hobbies include hiking with her greyhound, embracing her inner nerd, and sampling dark chocolate.
