Paper Roundups

Magpies are notorious thieves, but I like to think they see themselves as curators. Art: American Magpie by Robert Havell after John James Audubon (1837) in the National Gallery of Art

Every month, I publish a curated list of new scholarship in complexity, astrobiology, and origins of life research, with short commentary on a handful of highlights. Any glaring omissions, bad recommendations, or typos are 100% human fallibility and 0% AI hallucination.

The point of curation is to make it easier to find interesting things, not to flood you with all the things. So I skip plenty of papers. If you're a maximalist, consider becoming a paid subscriber: I'm setting up a perk that will allow patrons to subscribe to the RSS feeds I've set up to collate new publications and Google Scholar alerts relevant to various astrobiology, origins, and complexity topics. This perk should be available by September.

Recommendations are welcome. Send them to elise@reviewertoo.com with "Paper Roundup Recommendation" in the subject line.
