Chart Girl on the The Great SOCIAL MEDIA IMPLOSION of 2013
From the New York Times, Is the guide that psychiatrists use not really based on science? This one is also interesting in that it shows the work that experts do in trying to define the boundary between science and not-science. This debate is a great example of how defining legitimacy relies on complex relationships among academic, corporate, and professional institutions, and our conceptions of categorization, rigor, and public trust.
And lots of fun stuff from LiveScience (Mostly new, a few older ones I found by failing to resist the allure of clicking on the Related Stories):
Intelligent Robots Will Overtake Humans by 2100, Experts Say
In anti-pseudoscience news: Busting myths about men's and women's 'bedroom' behavior
Big surprise: super moralistic people are more likely to think it's okay for THEM to cheat
Another big surprise: the lone wolf warrior caveman who somehow secured the evolutionary future of humanity by busting heads? Big ol' myth. (Mostly)
Robots learn to lie. (Awesome. In a mildly scary, Skynet kind of way. But still awesome.)
