You’ve heard of T.M.I… but how about T.M.A – too many authors! I’ve been working on the lit review and just cited a paper with 30 authors!! I mean, this was a task force report, so I guess task forces have a lot of people on them, but 30 people to write one paper? How […]
My hockey team finally won a game! And we didn’t just win — we wiped the ice with them! I was a bit nervous before the game started ‘cuz we only had 6 skaters and the other team had three full lines! (For those of you not familiar with the nuances of hockey, this means […]
