Here is some of what I have been reading since December 6th:

• Trials and Errors: Why Science Is Failing Us
  "searching for correlations is a terrible way of dealing with the primary subject of much modern research: those complex networks at the center of life. While correlations help us track the relationship between independent measurements, such as the link between smoking and cancer, they are much less effective at making sense of systems in which the variables cannot be isolated."
• To Know, but Not Understand: Science and Big Data
  "the massive amounts of data necessary to deal with complex phenomena exceed any single brain's ability to grasp, yet networked science rolls on"
• SpeakerFile
  Great Toronto-based startup: "Speakerfile is the better way for keynote speakers & public speakers to find speaking engagements."

• Evolutionary Psychology Applied to Marketing & Cosumer Behavior | Evolvify
  “…it really astonished me in reading consumer behavior textbooks, advertising textbooks, and course syllabi from business schools that people were still using Myers-Briggs, they were still talking about Jungian archetypes. They were still using all of this psychology that’s been out of date for at least 30 or 40 years as if it’s still valid and as if we can’t do any better”
• Keynotopia
  If you're comfortable in PowerPoint, you now have the tools to prototype mobile and web apps

  Interesting article from Strategy+Business magazine
• Phys Ed: The Men Who Stare at Screens – Well Blog – NYTimes.com
  Yikes, too close to home. "The men worked out, then sat in cars and in front of televisions for hours, and their risk of heart disease soared, despite the exercise. Their workouts did not counteract the ill effects of sitting."
• When it comes to research, we live in interesting times
  "Those of us who tell ourselves we are curious about the world are actually swimming in 'evidence' that has been filtered again and again in favour of interestingness."
