Thanks to Ben Watson for updating the list. If you'd like to be added to future iterations of the list, please add your full name and Twitter tag to comments. Future additions to the list must be qualified psychologists (grad students were initially included for a short time, but the numbers were too great so we had to change this policy. However, that initial intake have been left in the list). Also, we're restricting the list to individuals, so no organisations please.
