Change in Focus

Lately I've been reading a lot of articles and books that summarize cool research (think Freakonomics). This blog could use a new focus to recapture some of its author's passion, so I've decided to focus for the time being on the "greatest hits" of all the articles I've read. I'll give a short summary of why it's cool and provide a link to the original research (yay for Google Scholar) for each white paper that I choose. Enjoy!
