Overview of Psychometrics
Steve Hsu gave a brief introduction to the science of psychometrics at Foo and SciFoo this year. He was kind enough to share his slides. This is a pretty good overview of the important bits. He also has some discussion of his slides here.
Thanks for sharing Steve!

The Grass is Greener
Courtesy of the PhysicsForums, here is a list of widely cited particle physicists who have gone to work in industry or government. Probably a good list of places for physics PhDs to work.
Where are they now?
Apparently I'm half-Bayesian
Steve Hsu links to a paper by Judea Pearl on Bayesian statistics and causality.
Judea Pearl: I turned Bayesian in 1971, as soon as I began reading Savage’s monograph The Foundations of Statistical Inference [Savage, 1962]. The arguments were unassailable: (i) It is plain silly to ignore what we

Steve Hsu: Information Processing
Steve Hsu is a physics professor at the University of Oregon. I stumbled across some fun things on his blog. Among my favorites:
* Learning how to fight [Our interests converge already]
* Thinking in terms of probability distributions [the most important skill in science and engineering, and life]
* Psychometrics works [I&
