What do you think about reading academic papers and posting distilled versions to a blog?
How about doing a reading course with a professor-friend of yours?
- bigmac 17y agoI've considered the first option for myself, actually. Would it provide actual value for people or just be perceived as blogspam?
- rw 17y agoIf you actually understand the paper, and can communicate that understanding, it will definitely be useful.
- jperras 17y agoI never considered either of those, actually. I think reading & interpreting results from academic papers and posting 'distilled' versions to a blog would actually be pretty good, especially since I'd (hopefully) get some constructive criticism out of it as well.
- kalid 17y agoI can second this. When I learn about new topics I like to blog about them (betterexplained.com) to help cement what I've learned, and have a way to relearn (in my own words) a topic once I've inevitably forgotten. I think you'll find this rewarding for yourself and others.
- pageman 17y agoa lot of journals accept reviews also! and they have revenue models as well! :)
