Fellowship news
14 Jan 2013
The Thematic working group of the Fellowship Council has set up a brief survey to establish the current extent of thematic activity taking place. If you lead a network, please complete the survey.
Are you a whizz with numbers? Experienced in finance and risk management? An opportunity has recently arisen for a Fellow with strong relevant experience to sit on the Audit & Risk Committee.

So how are we progressing with our new year resolutions? Fallen off the diet bandwagon yet? Exercise commitments already forgotton? Has the email inbox exploded from unread spam? Every year I await the media shower of new year commitments and ambitions. Magazines full of diet suggestions, clearing out your closet and managing your time more effectively. As my colleague Emma Lindley has already blogged its clear that we relish a blank page at the beginning of the year and in this digital world its harder than ever to do so (although there is always the reset button).

Given that the world faces so many major and intractable problems, why do politicians insist on trying to address them in a piecemeal fashion, rather than addressing underlying root causes?

While minding my own business yesterday I received an unexpected call asking me to appear on The Today Programme to discuss the psychological underpinnings of why we waste so much food. They chose me with my Social Brain hat on, because they wanted to explore wider issues relating to people acting against their own self-interest and the nature of irrationality.

Having been such a misery about the world yesterday I can today be a ray of sunshine about the RSA.

I think it was Enoch Powell who said that a politician who complains about the media is like a fish complaining about the sea. The same is just as true for think tanks, so this isn't a complaint just a quick counterpoint to some of the gratifyingly widespread coverage of the Academies Commission report which was published today.
This is a guest post from the Library Team.

We talk a lot about attention at the RSA. It is one of Social Brain Centre’s core thematic strands, and Jonathan blogged about the potential for it to be fractured by our technological addictions earlier this week. So I was very interested to see that the article The Essence of Optimism in the Jan/Feb issue of Scientific American Mind was largely on attention, too.
