That sounds like something I would do
I had a senior weird moment whilst setting up the experiments for this afternoon’s baby. I needed to get some soothing music to play in the background to keep the little beggar happy when I showed it stuff. Having just … Continue reading
Psycho? Social?
The last two emails in my inbox are very similar and yet very different. See if you can spot the difference between psychosocial studies and social cognitive neuroscience!! Subject: CBCD external seminar TOMORROW (TUESDAY) 1pm Date: 26 February 2007 17:58:50 … Continue reading
it’s okay if god does it
Thinking Meat’s review of Dawkins’ The God Delusion pointed me to a great psychological study showing how the Bible doesn’t provide very good moral guidance. Dawkins reported on a study done about 40 years ago by Israeli psychologist George Tamarin … Continue reading

Sapolsky on stress
