1. I can think of several of you who are good candidates for writing
SciAm articles.
It should be noted that Scott Lilienfeld writes regularly for SciAm
Mind; see:

2. When did "cognitive science" split from psychology?
Probably when the ratio of clinical psychologists to other psychologists
in APA
grew greater than 2:1. It is not unusual for
experimental/cognitive/research
psychologists to identify with cognitive science or neuroscience or
cognitive
neuroscience or some other area instead of psychology, especially to
nonpsychologists, because the stereotypical psychologist in the popular
imagination is that of a clinical psychologist. Calling oneself a
"cognitive
scientist" helps to cutoff questions like:
"Who has the greater suicide rate: psychologists or psychiatrists?"
Note: I was asked this question in a social situation with "civilians
and I have avoided identifying myself as a psychologist to nonacademics
and some academics.
