Just realised I’ve not successfully managed this double-posting thing, and three recent posts on my blog have not gone up here (it’s the different formatting! My tiny brain can only handle one sort of HTML).

So links instead:

1. On sex and suicide bombing
Why your science should be flawless if you statements are controversial. Myself and my colleagues David Lawson and Kesson Magid publish a critique of Satoshi Kanazawa’s “evolutionary psychological imagination”.

2. Blue is not better than white, and metaphor is unhelpful
A discussion of colour effects in sports contests, and the metaphorical language that evolutionary biologists use: is it effective?

3. Science and Design are both about communication
My fan-post about Mike Dickison’s Pictures of Numbers blog and website. A must for anyone wanting to communicate scientific data with effective visuals.
