Welcome to my study! Here you will find links to reading, videos, etc. that I've encountered during my serious and unserious research endeavours. I haven't read everything here front to back yet, but I'm working on it, and this is meant to be a place to keep and share references :-)
This page is still incomplete. I'd like to create more sections to share book reviews and little articles on things I'm interested in.
