Recent reads

Always a change of pace being home for the holidays. Hard to get productive to do any work, but at the same time I often feel like I'd want to do some work. I'll get a little done today.

A few interesting reads I've come across lately I'd like to save for the future:
-Good things to keep in mind while reviewing/refereeing a paper.
-From the same person, a companion list of things to keep in mind when getting a manuscript back that was reviewed. I think my PhD advisor did a good job of emphasizing these points.
-An interesting chain-of-thoughts on introducing yourself to your first (of some sort) class, with good points also made in the comments.
-Some entertaining 'modified famous quotes' for long review processes.f

Something else to add, after the face: an excellent read on looking at research from new angles, especially unexpected/undesired results.
