6. White House Behavioural Team looking for staff - details here
7. Third round of the Many Labs experiment - it is certainly by no means settled what type of information this type of multi-lab replication effort provides but there is no doubt for me that Many Labs should be discussed on all psychology and behavioural science programmes.
8. Story of the rise and fall of the US National Children's Study is a real tragedy
9. CLS appoints new director and secures funding for 2015-2020 Centre for Longitudinal Studies
