> Also gaining muscular mass at a young age can cause metabolism issues later (after 30), gaining weight easier and such. I've always heard the opposite. Do you have a source for this?

This is a big topic in HCI called 'Total Capture'. The name implies that all audio and video of your daily life will be captured and enable many interesting studies.

One of the common threads I've noticed between the best researchers I know is their uncanny ability to draw these parallels between the most obscure domains.

It's worth noting that the original publication doesn't claim that it is the trees that have the effect. That is a layer of confusion generated by the New Yorker author. Berman's original work compares "natural" vs

Great question. Their result in this area did surprise me. Conscious reflection on past negative memories slowly turns them into less negative and less painful memories. There is a lot of work here done by Pennebaker about how writing about

Active reflection on past experiences has many positive effects on psychological wellbeing and I'm quite surprised that they weren't mentioned in this article. Artie Konrad (disclaimer: a labmate of mine until he graduated recent

It's poor reporting. The statements about white children should be qualified the same way the author attempted to qualify the statements about black children. http://www.pewtrusts.org/~/media/legacy/upl

You are truly grasping at straws. There are 15 citations there, many of which show direct data of market cap and share price performance for these companies and you hunt down a single survey you have an issue with. Please.

I agree, the onus is definitely on the publisher to make sure the claims they make are statistically sound. However you're going to lose most of your casual audience if you focus on the statistics. You need to go to the source for that

You bring up sample size here which doesn't really matter because the effect is statistically significant. Your point about the populations being unrepresentative is of course a good point(which can be made about nearly any study, low

Reflecting on things that made you happy in the past increases your current mood. I actually find that pretty intuitive.

It's a decent idea but this is not the way to solve it. Think about how many people you met during your college experience? It was easily hundreds. Out of that you came away with many friends but likely only a few really great friends.
