A popular researcher (and yes a relation to Sasha Baron-Cohen) corrects a major publication for overblowing and distorting his research. Great success!
I don't really have an option about Dr. Baron-Cohen's research and writing in general, but I find it thought-provoking (for example, he's made the argument that recent changes in education and labor make it easier for individuals on the spectrum to make sexy time-- dunno if I agree or disagree but I like seeing someone I think of as a lab scientist thinking about larger social patterns), and it's cool to see someone take an active role in moderating how their research is perceived in the popular press. He's already well-established and all, and I wouldn't begrudge a less-established researcher enjoying whatever attention they get, but, still.
Hey, I was hibernating the last few months. Did I miss anything?
