Personal life

Fleischman was born in São Paulo, Brazil and raised both Jewish and Catholic.[3][4] She grew up in the Southern United States and was not taught about evolution in the public school system there. She was passionate about evolution from an early age, earning the nickname "monkey girl" from classmates at age 12.[4] Her undergraduate degree is from Oglethorpe University[1][5] and she also spent a year at the London School of Economics as an undergraduate. She was awarded her PhD in 2009 from the University of Texas at Austin, where her advisor was David Buss, and went on to do a postdoc at UNC Chapel Hill.[1][5]

Fleischman is a member of Giving What We Can, a community of people who have pledged to donate 10% of their income to the world's most effective charitable organisations.[6]

On November 29, 2019, she married Geoffrey Miller.[7]

Career

Fleischman has been a lecturer in the department of psychology at the University of Portsmouth since 2011. One of her more covered findings in the press is that disgust inhibits sexual arousal in women.[8][9] In addition to academic publications and lectures, she also gives public lectures and writes articles for the layperson.[10][11][12] She argues that eating beef is more ethical than eating chicken because it kills fewer animals per gram of meat.[13]
