New ToPIX Content: 8/8/13

This update includes additions to the Statistics in the News, I/O in the Classroom, Memory Video, and Neuroscience Video

Topics such as the link between suicide and coffee, health and where you live, and vaccines and autism can be used to spice up Stats and Methods lessons. These materials for lessons on the nature of correlational research can be found on the Statistics in the News page (courtesy of Sue Frantz via Twitter). 

Another look at the Hawthorne Effect was added to the I/O in the Classroom page (also courtesy of Sue Frantz via Twitter).

A TED Talk, "Feats of Memory Anyone Can Do" by Joshua Foer was posted to the Memory Video page (courtesy of Jaclyn Spivey via the STP Facebook Group). 

Video links were updated, and a teaching guide for "Pieces of Mind: The Man with Two Brains" was added to the Neuroscience Video page


Thanks Sue, and Jaclyn for your contributions to ToPIX!
