If you can RSVP by Apr 19th, that will help me book us a spot of the appropriate size, but please still feel free to come if you don't RSVP. The bar is child and dog friendly, and serves things besides beer if you fancy.

This year's Fall ACX Meetup everywhere in Reading.

Siren RG1 is not a pub in the traditional sense and does not have pub vibes. It has an almost cafe-like atmosphere that's friendly to non-drinkers.

Feel free to email me with any questions.

These estimations of genetic component (which, to my vague memory, were in the d=0.1-0.3 range) are what... (read 353 more words →)
I have a few problems with this, but most of them stem from one particular big gap in the argument, so I'm going to sort of start in on that, and then bring in the other issues as and when they feel relevant. I've gone back and forth on whether to perhaps structure this review more in a 'going through the article' way, or a sort of 'here's my list of problems' way, but neither really seemed satisfactory so I've gone for this sort of 'hub and spoke' model, which isn't so suited to linear writing but there we go.
This ended up getting long as hell, so I've put some headings in.
