Everything is heritable:

• "Predicting educational achievement from DNA", Selzam et al 2016 (supplement; polygenic scores now predict 3.5% of intelligence, 7% of family SES, and 9% of education)
• "Chinese scientists to pioneer first human CRISPR trial: Gene-editing technique to treat lung cancer is due to be tested in people in August"
• "Genetically-Mediated Associations Between Measures of Childhood Character and Academic Achievement", Tucker-Drob et al 2016

• "Autism As a Disorder of High Intelligence", Crespi 2016 (Seems to overemphasize the role of common variants and underplay all the severe de novo mutations discovered in autism cases.)
• "Detecting Genome-wide Variants of Eurasian Facial Shape Differentiation: DNA based Face Prediction Tested in Forensic Scenario", Qiao et al 2016
• "Healthy ageing of cloned sheep", Sinclair et al 2016

Politics/religion:

• "Preparing for the Possibility of a North Korean Collapse", Bennett 2013 (I didn't know many of those details about how the East German collapse was able to go so smoothly, or that Kim Jong-Il had intimidated his subordinates during the '90s famines with footage of impoverished East German elites.)
• "Police, Prosecutors and Judges Rely on a Flawed \$2 Drug Test That Puts Innocent People Behind Bars"

AI:

• "Alignment for Advanced Machine Learning Systems", Taylor et al 2016
• "Assessing Human Error Against a Benchmark of Perfection" (Difficulty of a chess endgame position predicts mistakes far better than time constraints or chess ability. Not necessarily surprising - as chess AIs demonstrate, humans only span a fraction of the possible range of objective chess playing ability, so individual human differences in ability won't matter much.)
• "Accelerating Eulerian Fluid Simulation With Convolutional Networks" (neural network all the things)

Statistics/meta-science:

• "Preventing future offending of delinquents and offenders: what have we learned from experiments and meta-analyses?", Mackenzie & Farrington 2015
• "Why It Took Social Science Years to Correct a Simple Error About 'Psychoticism'"
• "Can Results-Free Review Reduce Publication Bias? The Results and Implications of a Pilot Study", Findley et al 2016 (on result-blind peer review)

• "New Drug Development: Estimating entry from human clinical trials", Adams & Brantner 2003
• "The Efficacy of Psychological, Educational, and Behavioral Treatment: Confirmation From Meta-Analysis", Lipsey & Wilson 1993 (incidentally, published studies yield mean effects 0.14 SDs larger than unpublished studies.)
• "Could Women Be Trusted With Their Own Pregnancy Tests?"
• "Breast-feeding the microbiome"
