Monthly Reading Roundup: January 2013

At the end of every month I've decided to do a summary posting including some of the interesting things I read (or in the process of reading) for that month. There are a variety of news articles, reports, journal articles, and the like I come across and share via twitter and other outlets. So, I though it might be useful to condense all these into one, monthly "reading roundup" posting, with book titles, research articles, and other news articles. In the future I hope to add a few more sections, like food recipes and exercises/workouts, but until then, stay tuned and happy reading!
