Editor's Selections: Dating, Near-Death Experiences, Homework

Here are my Research Blogging Editor's Selections for this week:

• What should you talk about on your first date if you want a second? Not films, apparently. Find some answers at the B Good Science Blog.
• There is a period between "clinical death" and "brain death" called the "gap period," during which a person may not be breathing or have a pulse -- but still has (diminishing) neurological function. It is during this time that they might have what is called a "near death experience." Learn about it at The Genealogy of Religion blog.
• There's good research on how teenagers perform on their homework. Over at BPS Research Digest, find out how they feel about their homework.
