These …

Millions of people starved to death in the last Great Depression, back when most people lived on farms and were self sustainable and much mentally and physically healthier, much mo …

Well, the fact that I am starting this PhD student meet-up group should tell you that I’m procrastinating despite a fast encroaching deadline, and a deluge of emails from my supervisors harassing me about that long overdue chapter.

Jorge Luis Borges This is a meetup group for people who like to read, and be read to. Everyone is welcome!  Bring a passage or two that you like and recite it with the group, then we can tal …
