[tips] Cost of access to articles

[Annette Taylor]

I have found that most journals require a payment of about $30-$35 per
article so the $12 to access an APA journal, by comparison, is rather
inexpensive!

[tips] Paul Offit's New Book on When Science Goes Wrong

[Mike Palij]

The physician and science write Paul Offit has a new book out titled
"Pandora's Lab: Seven Stories of Science Gone Wrong" reviews
seven historical events in medical science that were at first accepted
and widely praised but turned out to have terrible consequences
(e.g., eugenics, lobotomies, etc.).  There is an article on the
Medscape website that is an interview with Offit about how the book
came about, why the medical science went wrong, and what we
can do to prevent it (e.g., making sure there is replicable research
results).  The article can be accessed here:
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/881347_1

I'm not sure if one needs to have an account on Medscape or
not (I do) to read the article.

[The Psych Files]

Showing students images of the Muller-Lyer illusion is…somewhat interesting.  
Maybe this is more interesting:
