   I went to Iowa as well and really enjoyed Iowa City. I think it’s a great place to get an education but I also lived there for a year after college and was happy to move to a larger city.

   Des Moines has a large network of skywalks connecting many of the buildings downtown. I think it’s actually a bad idea as far as urban planning is concerned. When you are in the skyways it feels a little bit like walking around a giant airp

   Thanks - I'd love to add these but I was unsure whether they would be appropriate. Going off of the biology section on arXiv - I think there are better ways to subdivide a field. Are there any improvements/consolidation that would

   I built this for fun and I can say that it was fun to build! It's an experiment too. But prior to building it, it was something I could see myself using. To entice users, I have thought about adding features that users find directly us

   Why do you use this service? My dream for the site would be that the most value would come from the comments section where people could ask questions, discuss ideas, expand on the background of papers, or debate whether the results justify

    Thanks for the feedback. The thumbnails could definitely be made smaller and/or substituted. I'll be making some sort of change but not sure exactly what yet.

    Thanks for the feedback. The site is very much an experiment and can definitely be improved. Its not designed to be a popularity contest. I am hoping old and new research is submitted and that the commenting function of the site can counter

    If there are any subs you would like to have added please let me know. Currently, I know the site is restricted to biology and a small stats section but I can easily add chemistry, physics, math, etc.

    The target audience is anyone interested in discussing academic preprints/publications. Currently, it is restricted to only academic emails but I am hoping to open it up to anyone. Clearly, that will likely draw in scientists but I&#x2

    That’s my background (: I’d love to add subs for other fields but I wasn’t sure which subfields would be best.

    Thank you - There are a few of reasons. (1) the thumbnails indicate that the PDF is available and can be downloaded. This is to promote submissions from pre-print servers and open access journals that make their research readily available.

    I’m finishing grad school. Looking forward to having a little more time to do whatever I want. I’ve got a bunch of projects I want to work on and a long list of books I’d like to read.
