Weird science loses its home, The Daily Princetonian's 2007 report, covers the closure of Princeton University's Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory after nearly three decades studying claimed mind-matter interaction effects. Its strength is that it is contemporaneous reporting on the university's own campus by its student newspaper, close to the actual event. Its limit is that it is student journalism, not peer reviewed analysis of the laboratory's research findings themselves, which is a separate and long contested question this article does not adjudicate.
