Hi Knights,

In case you missed it, here's a good article on creativity in the New Yorker called "Groupthink, the brainstorming myth," by Jonah Lehrer. There's a long section about the creativity that came out of MIT's  old Building 20.

The Marketers Have Us Beat

very interesting article in the New York Times on how statisticians -- from MIT, naturally -- can now tell loads about you -- like if you're pregnant -- from a constellation of information available out there in the cloud...

It's gettin' scary out there.

Welcome Knights

Better late than never, here's a spot for the Knight Fellows in Science Journalism at MIT, 2011-12, to post various and sundry.
