I've seen some really good articles recently, why aren't they on here?

Now, please keep in mind that I am a full-time graduate student as well as (more importantly) a "full-time" husband.  In other words, I cannot guarantee that I will find every good article out there to put on this site.  Mainly, I browse through the major life science journals every week, and if something catches my eye, then I go ahead and put in this site. For me, this site is not a job or something I feel I have to do, rather, it is something I enjoy doing...a hobby.  Further, I prefer not to review articles about things that I cannot discuss intelligently.  That would be unfair to you.  I definitely encourage all of you to browse through various journals (if you have access to them) and read anything that looks interesting.  Please do not rely on my site for all the advances in the life sciences, there are far too many of them!

Can I suggest articles?

Of course!  I would love the input.  Again, I do this in my spare time, so I cannot keep up with all the journals out there.  If I missed an article that you think would be good for this site, please let me know about it!  Further, if you wish, you could even submit to me your own "summary" of the article (don't forget to include the "Why is this important to me?" section!), and I will post it on this site...giving you full credit of course!

Could you send me some other references so I can learn more?

It would be my pleasure!  In fact, I've been doing that with my other site for some time now.  I have many articles in the "archive", so I could easily dig one or two up for you and give you the references.  Further, if you are looking for more advances reviews about particular scientific topics, let me refer you to two outstanding journals that do just that: the Current Opinion (e.g. Current Opinion in Cell Biology) series and the Annual Review (e.g. Annual Review in Neurobiology) series.  Both of the series divide into various scientific fields (e.g. neurobiology, cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, etc.) and are written by the true experts in the field.  Further both Cell and Journal of Biological Chemistry have many "Mini-Reviews" that are great sources as well.  And, of course, there are many web sites out there you can check out.  One benefit of published reviews is that they peer reviewed.  In other words, the authors cannot say whatever they want, what they say is reviewed by other experts in the field for its validity and clarity...most web sites do not have their content reviewed (so you may want to be a little wary).

Can you send me the article?

I've done that before, to people who didn't have access to the journals in their countries, but I don't think I'll do it again.  Why?  Now, I'm not a lawyer, but I can imagine some sort of copyright infringement or something.  Just to be safe, I'm going to limit myself only to sending references.  Sorry!

Other questions? Just send me an e-mail and ask!
