+Tips for Reading Scientific Literature

You cannot expect to read everything

Try to read articles that are Most interesting to you Most relevant to your and your groups research

No one has time to read all of the text. Read the abstract, intro, and try to discern major points from the figures and schemes.

Discuss what you have read with others

Always take note of the author and affiliation.
