What can the BPS Research Digest do for you? Well, it will introduce and keep you up to date with the best new psychology research being published in academic journals. It's all proper science that's been translated from academic-journal-speak into langauge we can all understand. Can't say fairer than that.

Best psychology blog carnival
Blog carnivals are a neat way to highlight great posts on related topic from different blogs. In psychology and neuroscience, Encephalon is the Daddy of blog carnivals. Coming out every two weeks and hosted by a different blogger each time, Encephalon enables you to sample new blogs and marvel at the sheer diversity of the psychology blogosphere.

Best neuroscience blog

Dr Boynton is a lecturer at a London University.

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.
