High Fives - April 20, 2018




High Fives are articles or blog posts I have read during the week that I find interesting, and perhaps are pertinent to my research. Sometimes there are only a couple and sometimes there are quite a few.

I thought it warranted my putting here in case one of my Canadian readers missed it and would like to enter.
