Lab Meeting, Spring 2017, Week 8

Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)

Good news, everybody! We can stop using the exact same plots from the Lisker & Abrahamson paper when talking about the need for adaptation! The Pierrrehumbert episodic memory paper had this great plot from German et al., 2013 ZB
