But it would be more useful if you could find a way of stopping the Lazy Research contacting the offices of Psychology Departments. Lucking we have an excellent press office to handle them but perhaps not all universities are so lucky.

Thanks Lalita,
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't see the point in being rude. I was under the impression that this list was for helping people out with science/media questions - please let me know if i have misunderstood this.
Science, and particularly its communication, is about sharing and exchanging ideas, but i can assure the anonymous person that I am spending a lot of time doing my own research. Any extra help from you guys is an added bonus,
Best,
Peter
