Skyler Wang, a Ph.D. student of sociology at UC Berkeley and relationship consultant, has been studying online dating since 2016. On Feb. 14 – Valentine’s Day – he sat down for a Facebook live interview with UCOP Social Media Manager Alex Morales. Watch the video below to get his scientific insights into:

• Do app algorithms favor those who swipe more times or fewer?
• Does online dating encourage relationships across racial, economic and educational boundaries?
• How have apps affected the queer dating scene?
• Is asking someone’s astrological sign a good ice-breaker?
• And more!

Share your Valentine love story.

Take the UCOP Valentines Survey! Responses will be featured in next week’s Link.
