A week of links
Links this week:
-
Aaron Sell rants about some recent papers on whether there are sex differences in the willingness to have casual sex.
-
Robert Kurzban (who I seem to be linking to a lot recently) posts on one of my favourite Gerd Gigerenzer papers.
-
“Derek” fathers over 500 children filling in for shellshocked husbands.
-
Do we need more pharmaceutical advertising to enhance the placebo effect?
-
