February Resource - Saving time reading papers:

In grad school, I came up with an efficient system for reading hundreds of scientific papers and organizing them to save me time later writing a literature review. Everyone will need to do this at some point. I wrote an 11-minute blog post outlining my methods and including some tips & tricks that will save you a ton of time. Comment on it to let me know what you think!

How to read scientific papers quickly (and effectively organize them for a literature review)

February News:

This might not be newsworthy but it's extremely important to us: We're switching all of our plastic bubble mailers out for cardboard mailers. The cardboard versions cost twice as much, but will decompose if not recycled and will not contribute to the growing microplastics problems in our environment. If you still have your black plastic bubble mailer from us, please drop it off at a grocery store bag recycling bin to recycle it!
