Neuroscience calls the response to surprise a prediction error; jazz musicians call it improvisation around a theme. Both trigger the exact same chemical nudge that turns a one-time reader into a repeated opener. Most creators obsess over subject lines or free PDFs.

Nice, ultimately hopeful, article on the flawed field of behavioural science, with some pretty big clues about why the field has such problems: “A whole strata of academics became akin to rock stars thanks to their ability to explain why humans behaved the way they did”

Inside the scandal that rocked behavioural science – and paved the way for revolution

Five years after a widely revered study was debunked as totally bogus, Helen Coffey asks the experts whether trust in the sexiest branch of science has been irrevocably eroded – and how to discern bet...

New piece in The Conversation: People often trust their gut when reading calorie labels—but that confidence can mislead them. We explore the "illusion of calorie fluency" and what it means for informed eating. Read more 👉 theconversation.com/calorie-coun... #BehavioralScience #Nutrition #FoodPolicy

Calorie counts on menus and food labels may not help consumers choose healthier foods, new research shows

Knowing how many calories a food contains has become a familiar part of eating. But it may muddy rather than clarify a person’s understanding of how healthy that food is.
