When I thought about what I wanted to contribute to the world using this modest platform, I realized that during the day, every day, I read a lot (everything from news articles to academic studies). So, I decided to create a new section of posts called: links with my "Like."
I'll focus more on the news coverage and less on the academic publications in order to maintain a wide variety of topics (unlike the narrow ones that are included in my Ph.D. research). I'm hoping to post a new piece every two weeks or so, collecting the articles I liked the most.
This first post is exceptional because I have accumulated several links in the past months (the links are sorted from the newest to the oldest. HEB = in Hebrew).
Hope you'll like my posts & find some interesting topics to think about :-)
