Publications

RK is a master at publications.
I am not.

Now I'm working with him on some writing projects and am learning a LOT!

Here's what he does: he starts off by precisely defining the objectives and audience for each paper and then sets about addressing those objectives. I have been starting off in a much less driven manner- I say, well, let's see if we can describe what this data says. And then I go mad running all sorts of analyses on that data. And finally I end up with a lot of data without a coherent story.

Hoping this experience helps me get better at turning ideas into papers...
