When I first started my graduate program in Genetics my adviser wisely counseled me to read one scientific paper each day. This would not only help me become comfortable with scientific literature or build a knowledge base about subjects pertaining to my project, but would create a habit of life learning and allow me to understand and be able to discuss the cutting edge aspects of my field. The problem is, I've been busy enough that I let it slip through the cracks. In an effort to improve my track record as an avid journal reader, I will begin posting once a week about an interesting or otherwise noteworthy piece of scientific news. Admittedly, this is a selfish endeavor but hopefully we'll all learn some interesting stuff along the way (at least I will, even if nobody chooses to read it).

Hey! Where's my science article of the week!? I feel a whole bunch of brain rot coming on. I'll go play some more video games to dull the pain.
