A week of links

Links this week:

  1. Sean Roberts on spurious correlations over at Replicated Typo.
  2. Some babble on the neuroscience bubble.
  3. Why do Jews succeedNoah Smith throws some reasons out there, but I expect Smith’s explanations would do a poor job of explaining ultra-success in the form of, say, Nobel prizes. And here’s Noah Millman’s take.
  4. And finally, below, an interview with Leda Cosmides (HT: Douglas Kenrick).
