Excerpts from her bio... she deserves to be celebrated. Born in Manhattan, Pert studied biology at Bryn Mawr College before completing her PhD in pharmacology at Johns Hopkins University, where she made her opioid receptor discovery. Meanwhile, Pert became a professor at the Georgetown University School of Medicine and began to explore alternative medicine concepts, such as the connection between mind and body. She gave frequent public talks and authored Molecules of Emotion: The Scientific Basis Behind Mind-Body Medicine, part memoir and part treatise on peptides and mind-body communication. “She welcomed all spiritual practice into her life, and she loved all people,” Pert’s family wrote in a statement.
