This week’s contribution to The Science of Kissing Gallery comes from a particularly gorgeous woman I adore in the science blogosphere. Thanks to her for contributing what can only be described as the steamiest image so far. Submit your original photo or artwork here.

This week’s spectacular kissing series was captured last month in Amboseli, Kenya by primate researcher Catherine Markham:

Thanks to Catherine for contributing! Submit your original photo or artwork to The Science of Kissing Gallery here.

The first selected submission to The Science of Kissing Gallery comes from photographer Lucie Kerley. I really love the way that snow makes this image look warm and cold at the same time.

You can visit Lucie’s website at www.luciekerley.co.uk and check out her blog for more great pictures.

Submit your own original photo or artwork for consideration at srkirshenbaum@yahoo.com.

The weekly Sunday Snog has became far more popular than I anticipated when I came up with idea for fun while composing The Science of Kissing. Many readers have emailed their own photos and artwork and I’ve received multiple requests for a single link to view all the pictures. Sounds good to me.

Introducing The Science of Kissing Gallery: presently under-construction and located on the right sidebar of our blog. This gallery will feature collected kisses from across time, space, and species. Discover has agreed to help by creating a special page with thumbnails–much like The Loom’s fantastic Science Tattoo Emporium–so watch for the official launch of this new page over the coming weeks! You can submit your original photo or artwork for consideration at srkirshenbaum@yahoo.com. The more creative, the better.

Now onto this week’s contribution from my good friend, Duke primate researcher Vanessa Woods. Her highly-anticipated book entitled, Bonobo Handshake debuts next summer!

No doubt Sydney’s real cute and has all the right moves, but can Chris’ boston terrier contribute The Sunday Snog?

I thought not!
