Sharon Begley has begun writing a Friday Science Journal column for the Wall Street Journal. Her work first caught my eye with her April 4th column titled ”Likely Suicide Bombers Include Profiles You’d Never Suspect.” [Note: subscription may be required.] She did a great job of starting the debate about what may really motivate suicide terrorists.

Today her column is titled ”Real Self-Esteem Builds on Achievement, Not Praise for Slackers.” Again, another excellent topic and a well-written column from this experienced science writer.
