Studies on babies prove difficult to conduct - a lot depends on the willingness of the baby to comply, and actually luck and good timing might be a better word than willingness.

But there have been a number of recent studies at Yale University that study babies’ perceived perceptions of right and wrong based on the motion of their eyes and reactions to certain circumstances. 

The NY Times published an interesting article earlier this month, read it here.

A recent study in the Journal of Marketing Communications compared peoples’ responses to advertisements that featured clean-shaven men and bearded men. The results: men with “neat, medium-length beards” were found to be more trustworthy and have greater expertise than men without beards.

As GOOD pointed out, this may have implications for those recent college grads in search of a job! 

Some noteworthy beards: Sam Beam (of Iron & Wine), Abraham Lincoln, Dumbledore, Santa Claus, possibly Jesus.
