Column: Fight proposed ban on single-sex schools. Eight activist academics have just published an article in Science arguing that it should be banned.

According to popular perception, Burning Man is a non-stop rave thrown by a bunch of drugged-out naked hippies. That’s not false, admittedly, but it’s only a small piece of the picture.

(Medical Xpress) -- A study into depression is shedding new light on a fascinating facet of human psychology - that we can readily delude ourselves into thinking we control events, even when we know we do not.
This so-called "illusion of control" can be both a positive and a negative in our lives, notes Shruti Venkatesh, a UNSW postgraduate research student. "It can help motivate people and make them feel optimistic in certain situations, but it can also lead people into having unrealistic expectations," says Ms Venkatesh, who is working with Associate Professor Michelle Moulds, of the UNSW School of Psychology, and Associate Professor Chris Mitchell, of the University of Plymouth.

A third of Europeans are suffering from a mental disorder in any one year.
More than a third of the population of Europe suffer from some sort of a mental disorder each year, according to a study which calls attention to the scale of the problem and the paucity of treatment.
The research from the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology has found that more than 164 million people in the EU – more than 38% of the population – have a mental disorder in any year.

The Top 10 Psychology Studies of 2010. The end of 2010 fast approaches, and I'm thrilled to have been asked by the editors of Psychology Today to write about the Top 10 psychology studies of the year. I've focused on studies that I personally feel stand out, not only as examples of great science, but even more importantly, as examples of how the science of psychology can improve our lives.
Each study has a clear "take home" message, offering the reader an insight or a simple strategy they can use to reach their goals , strengthen their relationships, make better decisions, or become happier.

LSE Professor Says Women Should Use Their Sex Appeal To Get Ahead At Work. Catherine Hakim, a professor of sociology at the London School of Economics, has shattered the last great taboo of the workplace: professional women should use their “erotic capital” — beauty, sex appeal, charm, dress sense, liveliness, and fitness — to get ahead at work.
And rather than believing old notions that beauty has only a trivial, superficial value, women should change the way they use the “beauty premium” and not be ashamed of using it to get ahead. Professor Hakim, an expert on women’s employment and theories of female position in society, isn’t the only one talking about this. In the upcoming issue of HBR, our Synthesis column dives into Hakim’s new book, and two others on the topic, to understand what this concept means for managers. Hakim argues that while we have no problem exploiting our other advantages — money (economic capital), intelligence and education (human capital), and contacts (social capital), women especially still shirk from using erotic capital.
