Yogurt-Eating Mice Are Slimmer, Shinier and Possess Larger Testicles. Male mice that were fed yogurt on a regular basis were not just shinier, but they also exhibited more “mouse swagger” because of their bigger and heavier testicles, according to researchers replicating previous studies on the effect of yogurt on preventing age-related weight gain. Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers found that yogurt-eating mice had testicles that were approximately 5 percent to 15 percent heavier, inseminated partners faster and produced more offspring than those that were on a standard of junk-food diet, Scientific American reported. Female mice on a yogurt diet also had reproductive advantages like giving birth to larger litters weaning their offspring with more success compared to control subjects. Erdman and Alm took a group of 40 males and 40 female mice and fed them a low nutrient “junk-food” diet, or standard mouse meals, and added vanilla-flavored yogurt to half of each diet group.

How Companies Learn Your Secrets. Antonio Bolfo/Reportage for The New York Times Pole has a master’s degree in statistics and another in economics, and has been obsessed with the intersection of data and human behavior most of his life. His parents were teachers in North Dakota, and while other kids were going to 4-H, Pole was doing algebra and writing computer programs. “The stereotype of a math nerd is true,” he told me when I spoke with him last year. “I kind of like going out and evangelizing analytics.” As the marketers explained to Pole — and as Pole later explained to me, back when we were still speaking and before Target told him to stop — new parents are a retailer’s holy grail.

There are, however, some brief periods in a person’s life when old routines fall apart and buying habits are suddenly in flux. “We knew that if we could identify them in their second trimester, there’s a good chance we could capture them for years,” Pole told me. People Aren't Smart Enough for Democracy to Flourish, Scientists Say. The democratic process relies on the assumption that citizens (the majority of them, at least) can recognize the best political candidate, or best policy idea, when they see it. But a growing body of research has revealed an unfortunate aspect of the human psyche that would seem to disprove this notion, and imply instead that democratic elections produce mediocre leadership and policies.

The research, led by David Dunning, a psychologist at Cornell University, shows that incompetent people are inherently unable to judge the competence of other people, or the quality of those people's ideas. For example, if people lack expertise on tax reform, it is very difficult for them to identify the candidates who are actual experts. They simply lack the mental tools needed to make meaningful judgments. As a result, no amount of information or facts about political candidates can override the inherent inability of many voters to accurately evaluate them. Steve Jobs' Cancer Treatment Regrets.
