- A new epidemiology blog (there are many fewer epi blogs that econ blogs, alas) asks "Is stoicism an important and neglected confounder?".
- Andrew Gelman and Kaiser Fung speculate on what went wrong with Feakonomics.
- A good piece on the growing influence of think tanks.

Two recent posts I liked were on the value of workshops early in the process of an evaluation and on a trial registry for development interventions.
- An essay on the recent history of Brooklyn's history: "How Brooklyn Got Its Groove Back". If you like such long-form nonfiction, follow LongForm.org.
- Philip Morris introduces new Marlboro Sinus PM cigarettes. Seriously.
- On a similarly serious vein: "Hey girl. Sorry I said causation when I meant correlation," from Public Health Ryan Gosling.
