In addition to New Scientist, Wired, and MIT's Technology Review, some books Ellen, Anne, and I are reading this summer include:
The Hidden Brain
Predictably Irrational (scroll down)
Naked Statistics (Prepping Ellen for her stats class this fall; reviewing my stats from grad school)
All highly recommended, along with the granddaddy of human behavior / decision-making's book: Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, discussed here in context by our friends at Less Wrong.
MattBall.org is the blog of, you guessed it, Matt Ball. Damn, you are as smart as you are good-looking!
About the author
Matt is the author, co-author, secondary-author, ghost-author, and non-author of articles, speeches, book chapters, and even entire books! Next will be the bestseller "Losing My Religions." Currently, he is President of One Step for Animals; previously, he was shitcanned from more nonprofits than there is room to list here. Before Matt’s unfortunate encounter with activism, he was an aerospace engineer who wanted to work for NASA to impress Carl Sagan. His hobbies include photography, almost dying, and {REDACTED} He lives in Tucson with Anne and no dogs, no cats, and no African tortoises (although he cares for all of these).
