New Coyne of the Realm
Weekly nuggets of pain science news and insight, usually 100-300 words, with the occasional longer post. The blog is the “director’s commentary” on the core content of PainScience.com: a library of major articles and books about common painful problems and popular treatments. See the blog archives or updates for the whole site.
Psychologist James C. Coyne, PhD, has a nice new website, CoyneOfTheRealm.com. Dr. Coyne is best known for his debunking of unrealistic stories about beating cancer with will power and optimism, and also a broader interest in exposing crappy science reporting. (He got interested in the topic when Psychology Today “complained my blog posts discouraged Pharma adverts.”) I’m recommending his excellent blog specifically — well worth signing up for email updates if the subject matter interests you — plus his ebooks on mindfulness and positive psychology.
