Praise for Shaun Gallagher’s website Correlated.org:“We predict this site will launch a thousand graduate theses”–Freakonomics“Help further the cause of science!”—Pee-wee Herman “A totally trustworthy-looking website”—Cracked.com “Hysterical site”—Dean Karlan, Yale Professor of Economics “Pretty much the best website ever.”—Facebook analytics manager Alex BainPraise for Experimenting with Babies:“Experimenting with Babies is a wonderful book, giving parents a hands-on way to understand their baby’s emerging mind. The experiments are easy, fun, and nicely annotated with the real science behind them. What a fabulous way for parents to get to know their new child!”—Lise Eliot, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the Chicago Medical School of Rosalind Franklin University and author of What’s Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life“With the marketplace urging parents to buy all manner of things to make their babies ‘smart,’ Gallagher’s book offers parents a view based in science on how much babies really know and figure out on their own. Parents will have fun with this book and gain new respect and awe for their babies’ amazing capabilities.”—Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Ph.D., H. Rodney Sharp Professor, University of Delaware and coauthor of How Babies Talk, Einstein Never Used Flash Cards, and a Mandate for Playful Learning in Preschool
