30in30: Week two
Wow! This is much harder than I thought. Mostly, that's because I thought I would have more time to myself during this trip to France. Turns out that I'm spending more time in the lab than I expected. That's great because it is time doing actual science as opposed to...
30in30: Week one
Instead of separate blog posts for each paper, I'll try to get these out on a weekly basis. Since most of this reading will be happening while I'm visiting INRA and the CEREGE in France, I may not actually be reading one paper daily. Instead, I'll indicate what day I...
30in30: Where to start?
The first challenge to my 30in30 research reading project is deciding what to read, which leads directly to deciding where to start in the literature that I've accumulated. Modern technology has allowed me to very easily accumulate a massive backlog of papers,...
30in30 for summer research reading
Mashing up ESPN's 30 for 30 and the Twitter #365papers hashtag, I've decided to come up with my own research reading project: 30in30. I'm heading to Aix-en-Provence for the month of June to work at the European Center for Research and Teaching in Geosciences and the...
