Papers

I know that this has been widely publicized by Olivia Judson already, but Papers from mekentosj.com has changed my life. It is the most intuitive program I've encountered for organizing pdfs, searching PubMed and autoimporting, and letting me purge paper copies from my office. I've been importing manual and interlibrary loan scans of older papers as well. Amazing. It's $42 after the free trial and worth every penny.

On Rejection

Ferric Fang has a commentary in Infection and Immunity called "On Rejection." It is certainly worth reading if you've ever received (or written!) a rejection letter. The calls for civility on the part of editors, reviewers, and authors have certainly been made before, but it is a theme that bears repeating.
