I've decided to get better at summarizing my readings for a few reasons. First, I'm terrible at remembering what I've read, so if I write something about it that should improve. Second, I need to get better at names, and writing authors names after I read something will help that. Lastly, I think it (or your people) will guilt me into reading more effectively.
I was going to set up a new blog for to do this or just use a google doc, but since we aren't using this blog for anything else, and this way you two can bug me to complete this, I figured that I'm gonna use E(h)volution, barring objections. I'm aiming for my summaries to be 100-200 words, with perhaps a bit of opinion about the work. It would be awesome to have little mini discussions about the articles here (think baby journal club), especially if you think I've summarized something incorrectly, or missed the point. I want to do these on a semi-daily basis, usually one or a few articles. You have my permission to yell at me if I haven't done one for a while. Next post with a few from the last couple days follows.
Cheers!
Robert
