Aeon has a fascinating piece on how we come to have knowledge of our own minds.

The Guardian has a piece on psychology’s study pre-registration revolution.
ABC Radio’s The Science Show has an excellent hour-long tribute to Oliver Sacks – in his own words.
How do we choose a romantic partner? Interesting review of studies from The Conversation.
