reading list purgatory: a curated selection. these are sitting in a zotero folder judging me while i eat soup in JP instead. field is broadly bio/pharma because that's the day job, plus a couple i saved because the abstract alone gave me something to think about on the 39 bus.

Aufsätze, die ich schon lange lesen wollte — 10 items
Name	Field	Why It's Still Unread
1The Sequence of the Human Genome (Venter et al., 2001)	Genomics	landmark paper, historical guilt keeps it pinned to the top, still haven't opened past the abstract
2A Rapid Bioassay for Insulin (Bliss, 1936)	Endocrinology	cited it once secondhand, feel bad about that, keeps getting reshuffled
3The Discovery of Penicillin (Fleming, 1929)	Microbiology	everyone quotes the moldy petri dish story, nobody in my lab has actually read it, myself included
4CRISPR-Cas9 Genome Editing (Jinek et al., 2012)	Molecular Biology	printed it, highlighted the intro, then used it as a coaster
5The Structure of DNA (Watson & Crick, 1953)	Molecular Biology	one page long, no excuse, still haven't finished it
6Attention Is All You Need (Vaswani et al., 2017)	Machine Learning	downloaded during a bout of main-character energy about learning ML, never opened again
7The mRNA Vaccine Platform (Pardi et al., 2018 review)	Immunology	relevant to actual current work, which is exactly why I'm avoiding it
8A Mathematical Theory of Communication (Shannon, 1948)	Information Theory	not even my field, saved it because a labmate wouldn't stop talking about entropy at lunch
9The Double Helix and the Warburg Effect (Warburg, 1956 original)	Cancer Biology	old German translation is rough going, keep meaning to find a cleaner English version
10Prion Diseases and the BSE Epidemic (Prusiner, 1998 Nobel lecture)	Neurobiology	genuinely unsettling subject matter, reading it before bed was a mistake I haven't corrected
