my name's nick holmes and THIS is the error bar, where no drinks are served, which has only one song on the jukebox & one programme on the telly: the news.

this episode covers mortality rates associated with obsessive compulsive disorder and two newspaper stories about love - just in time for valentine's day.

i also waffle on about the pros and cons of looking back over 'the literature' - should we study the literature in the library, or study nature in the lab?

keywords: history research meta analysis review.
