ResearchBuzz Firehose

The ResearchBuzz Firehose is regular RB content divvied up into individual posts, with a bit more commentary than the regular RB. There will also be additional resources that I think are too narrowly-focused or just not on for ResearchBuzz. If you're interested in digest-type posts just a couple of times a day, please visit ResearchBuzz.

Want to know how to best use the Firehose for content discovery? Check out this handy article.
