When you put up a new topic, please choose the right forum. We're getting a lot of posts going into forums that have nothing to do with the subject of the topic - and this means we have to waste time moving them.
The Forums index has a brief description of the purpose of each forum, and each forum has an INFO post pinned to the top of its topic list. If you don't know what forum your topic should go into, read these descriptions. Could new members especially make sure you understand what each forum is for so that we don't have to then move your topic into the correct place.

"The Greater Good Science Center is an interdisciplinary research center devoted to the scientific understanding of happy and compassionate individuals, strong social bonds, and altruistic behavior. While serving the traditional tasks of a UC Berkeley research center—fostering groundbreaking scientific discoveries—the GGSC is unique in its commitment to helping people apply scientific research to their lives."
