This forum is the support discussion to the paper we are reading this week. The paper is full of scientific terms that are most likely new to you. In this forum you are required to post about a sentence, word, or concept from the paper that you are unsure of the meaning. Please do the following in your post:

1. Use the word as the title of your post

2. Look up the definition online and copy/paste (with credit to the source) the best definition you can find

3. Write very briefly (1-2 sentences) in your own words what the sentence, concept, or word means in terms of the paper (you can see my example!)
