Top Ten Turkey Takes

Heading into Turkey Day, here are my top ten Thanksgiving posts from some of our favorite neuro and neuro-adjacent blogs:

* Tryptophan in the turkey is not what makes you sleepy

* The relationship between tryptophan and trust

* As you sit around the Thanksgiving table, a question from Scientific American: Are your siblings really your siblings?

* How Thanksgiving can stop Black Friday shopping

* Don’t panic about brining your turkey — just don’t overcook the thing

* How smart was your turkey before it became dinner?

* Why Black Friday isn’t actually the busiest shopping day of the year (and what actually is)

* Seven things Wired thinks you should know about turkeys

* Why do we roast a turkey? Tradition? To fit in?

* And, please, let’s not trample anyone at Wal-Mart this year

Gobble gobble. Pass the stuffing.

    About Me

    I'm a freelance writer and blogger based in Brooklyn, NY. My background is mostly in politics. I've worked on the editorial boards of the New York Sun and New York Post. In 2006, I wrote a book, "The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, Libertarians, and the Battle to Control the Republican Party" (Wiley). I've also done my share of freelancing, for places like the Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, Reason, and RealClearPolitics.

    These days, I'm interested in humanity's ever-expanding understanding of its own irrationality. Hence, this blog.
