New ToPIX Content: 7/12/12


This week we had updates to the First Day Activities and Neuroscience in the News pages, and a new Ethics in the News page.


New ToPIX Content


Contributions by Patricia Giero and Julie Carpenter (via the STP Facebook Group) helped round out a growing First Day Activities page. These icebreaker activities involve person perception and first impressions. Also, the handout to Patricia's "Can Science Answer This Question?" activity was uploaded to ToPIX and is available here.

A column on the recent mapping of Phineas Gage's brain was added to the Neuroscience in the News page (Thanks Jean Sumner!). 


A new Ethics in the News page was added in light of the retractions in psychology journals last month. The page also includes links to the archives of Retraction Watch. These blog posts and articles can supplement discussions of research ethics. Topics include self-plagiarism, faked data, and non-reproducible results. 

As always—if you have found ToPIX useful, please consider contributing! You are welcome to update the wiki yourself or drop me an email at TOPIX@TeachPsych.org.
