Les journaux de Boston qui ont recâblé mon cerveau

Not restaurants, not bars \u2014 papers this time. I'm a data guy, so obviously I have a ranked list of academic papers with Boston fingerprints on them (MIT, Harvard, the Broad, the whole Kendall Square nerd cluster). Some of these are Nobel-tier, some are just quietly load-bearing for half of modern science and tech. Rated on a totally scientific mix of impact, elegance, and how many times I've name-dropped them at a bar to win an argument. Bring your own IPA.
