		<title>A Message in Mothers&#8217; Milk?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Can infants receive a message about their environment &#8212; about how they should behave once up and about, to better fit it &#8212; from the milk they drink from their mother&#8217;s breast?
That would be something.  And a new study of rhesus macaque monkeys suggests that it does happen.  Sort of.

		<title>Two Noteworthy Null Results in Psychology and Gender Differences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Null results are important.  &#8220;We tried to find something, and it twerent&#8217; there.&#8221;  But &#8220;nothing there&#8221; results rarely get reported, which is a shame.
