stuff i say i’ve “read” while actually skimming the abstract on the orange line and then forgetting it by the time i’m back in jamaica plain. mix of classics, CRISPR, and things that make me feel better about being a small, confused mammal. pairs well with hot soup and low expectations.

Trabalhos que continuo fingindo que terminei — 10 items
Name	Field	Year	My take
1Attention Is All You Need	Machine learning	2017	the paper that quietly rewrote half my job while i was still debugging for-loops in matlab.
2The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two	Cognitive psychology	1956	comforting to know my working memory is not failing; it’s simply obeying a classic citation.
3The Strength of Weak Ties	Sociology	1973	proof that chatting with lab acquaintances at poster sessions might matter more than emailing your advisor… again.
4Computing Machinery and Intelligence	Philosophy of AI	1950	turing invents the vibes-based version of AI evaluation and we’re still arguing about it on twitter before 9 a.m.
5What Is It Like to Be a Bat?	Philosophy of mind	1974	nagel politely reminding us that no, your fMRI heatmap is not the final word on consciousness.
6The Tragedy of the Commons	Ecology / social theory	1968	useful whenever someone proposes a ‘shared’ lab freezer with zero rules. or, you know, climate policy.
7Do Artifacts Have Politics?	Science and technology studies	1980	mandatory reading before you trust any new campus ‘smart’ system that logs your every keycard swipe.
8Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid	Molecular biology	1953	shockingly short for something that basically defined everyone’s intro bio tattoo ideas forever.
9A Programmable Dual-RNA–Guided DNA Endonuclease in Adaptive Bacterial Immunity	Biochemistry / genome editing	2012	the ‘what if bacterial immunity but as a precision tool’ moment. also the reason every grant now whispers CRISPR somewhere.
10Genome engineering using the CRISPR-Cas9 system	Molecular biology methods	2013	basically a protocol but reads like a recipe for casually rewriting reality in 5–7 business days.
