Encephalon, the neuroscience blog carnival, is now online at Pharyngula. Encephalon has some of the best posts from around the blogosphere on neuroscience related subjects. The latest issue is devoted to four themes: understanding brains, fixing brains, improving brains and evolving brains. I'd recommend you take a look to discover new ideas, new voices and new blogs.
The science of creativity
As Pablo Picasso once pointed out, all children are creative; the challenge is to remain creative into adulthood.
Unfortunately public education systems around the world seem designed to crush creativity in favour of rote learning and test passing. As the years pass a fear of being wrong takes over from our natural creative tendencies.

If you would like to be more creative at work and at home—and that has to be most of us—the insights in this ebook will be useful.
