Speaking of Psychology Today, Dana Dunn (STP President-Elect) recently began authoring a Psychology Today blog: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/head-the-class/. In his most recent post, he discusses the difficulties of teaching difficult topics, referencing the most recent Best Practices Conference.
