As you could guess from the long blogroll at the bottom of A Theory of Mind, I read a lot online. I use Twitter (@ecsalomon) to post links to interesting things as I come across them, but I’d like to highlight the most relevant and interesting things I read each week here. Every Saturday, I’ll post a list of the blog posts, news stories, and other media that really captured my attention and might also interest readers of this blog.
Here at this week’s Things Worth Reading:
-
Calling all science writers and bloggers… Is anyone listening? — Doctor Stu introduces a new science magazine, written like a pop magazine — free of technical jargon and highly entertaining.
Could lessons in genetic variation help reduce racial prejudice? — Christian Barrett of BPS Research Digest describes research on a novel way to reduce prejudice.
-
Ghostbusting with Gozer — Cris Campbell of Genealogy of Religion explains how learning about others’ beliefs can help us better contextualize all belief, including our own.
-
Getting a Little Racy: On Black Beauty, Evolution and the Science of Interracial Sex — On his Scientific American blog, Jesse Bering writes about what science can and can’t help us understand about race and sex.
Enjoy!
