LINK: Journalist's search for counter arguments damages science

It's a PDF file showing how good BBC's reporting of science news is in general, but more specifically it reports about the fact that the journalists give far too much credit to arguments from people who have no scientific backing for their argument. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/our_work/science_impartiality/science_impartiality.pdf

[LINK] A proposed update model for working memory: multiple-component framework

I've seen some discussion on "working memory" and "spaced repetition" I just read this pop-science article in which a new hypothesis is presented that seems to provide better predictions and test conditions for measuring working memory. Maybe this can also be used for the SRS contest. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-07-brain-track.html
