Well, I’ve sat here for the last few days racking my mind as to what ’special’ thing I could do for the 100th post here on PsychBLOG. I remember writing the first tentative post back in April when the site looked very empty – it’s bad enough looking at an empty page, but an [...]

I will be traveling around Italy for the next two weeks so I’m afraid that there wont be anything new posted here until then. If you’re stuck for something to read though you could try some of the other excellent psychology blogs or pop over to the BBC Body and Mind site where there’s [...]
