But I did NOT see a "my" when I went over all of it yesterday. Also, as twittered by @berci yesterday: "100 Publications Every Graduate Student Should Read [url here]" Also, everything I said about myself is still true. No arguments from me Julie. But I did NOT see a “my” when I went over all of it yesterday. Also, as twittered by @berci yesterday: “100 Publications Every Graduate Student Should Read [url here]”

When I joined my own lab, my PI provided me with a large stack of papers to read to acclimate me with the type of research I would be doing, as it was vastly different than anything I had ever done before -- I would guess that 50% of the papers he gave me were papers that came out of his own lab, just to catch me up on what was going on. Looking through the 100 papers list, very few things apply to me as a biochemistry student in oncology; but they are likely very relevant to his student. If he is trying to make a list for every graduate student to read, he has missed the target by being far too specific and completely missed entire disciplines of very basic sciences (and, indeed, tooting his own horn far too much); if he is creating a list for his particular students, then he may be right on, and not particularly pompous at all by feeling that his students should be reading his own papers, because they may be most relevant to the type of work done by his students.
