If you are attending the meeting and you have a mobile phone, you can Periscope (or otherwise live stream) […]

New developments appear rapidly in unpredictable places. How can we stay up to date on these advances? In an earlier era, we subscribed to a small number of journals and read the tables of contents of a few more. This strategy covered most major developments in one’s field. Those days are over. Increasingly, groundbreaking new […]
