Here are today’s:
* Seven year itch — a study on the effects of boredom on marital satisfaction — uh, it’s not good
* Top 11 geek defenses for Swine Flu — “add cleric to party” — “update virus profiles”
* Do we make decisions using statistical reasoning? — not instinctively, on things like college visits — but we can be primed to do so
* The human brain can recognize objects much faster than some thought — animals, chairs, human faces, fruits and vehicles — what was being seen could be predicted by looking at the visual cortex
* Use checklists — hospitals that introduce them for surgery have much better outcomes — the rate of death at the hospitals was 1.5% before the checklist was introduced and declined to 0.8% afterward — the rate of complications was 11% before the checklist, declining to 7% after — humans make mistakes; find ways to deal with it
