To recap: Kitty and Sarah got into a big fight. This happened because angry protesters heckled Kitty during one of her U.S. Senate campaign speeches, thanks to the sticky immigration status of Luc (Gilles Marini), Sarah’s swarthy French fling-turned-boyfriend. Oh, and because as a petit garçon, Luc lived in his uncle’s brothel. Oops. Later, Kitty and Sarah behaved like spoiled brats (as usual), refusing to apologize to one another while slinging back glasses of ...

In particular he is interested in discovering whether regular fruit machine payers think differently to non-regular players. That is, whether regular fruit machine players display cognitive distortions. You can read the full text article of the 1994 study here at PsychExchange or for a more concise and readable versions pop over to Holah.co.uk. Last January Mark Griffiths spoke at conferences in Leeds and London about this study and the context into which it fell.  Here we have podcasts of the conference and the PowerPoint which was used at the conference (Thanks to Mark Griffiths for providing the powerpoint).

After returning from a ‘Getting Started’ conference I found an email from OCR letting me know about some little gems for us all - especially those of you who might have wanted to go to the Griffiths-Reicher-Haslam conferences I talked about before. OCR have released a some excellent posters which you could hang in your classroom for the 5 new studies (shame they can’t do the other 10 so that we have a full set) which you can download from the OCR website or the ‘resources page‘. The most interesting resource is a series of podcasts of the speaker...

In my first year of college, I was actually enrolled in the philosophy track of (what was then called) Cultures, Ideas, and Values. It was known as being among the toughest of all the tracks available and I barely survived. So I must bow down to Dr. Paul Griffiths, a philosopher of science at The University of Queensland, who headed a project to study the many ways “gene” is used in contemporary biology. In The Australian, he discusses how our understanding of genes have changed over time. It’s a somewhat complicated read that will enrich your understanding of genes and genetics. I’m not ashamed to admit I had to read it over more than once. *The photo is of the DNA T...
