This page lists my scientific publications; click on the title below to view the full text where available. If you prefer, here's a link to my ORCID profile, Researchgate profile, and Google Scholar profile, all of which should be more or less accurate.

You can download my CV, view my unofficial biography, sign up for monthly science summaries I send out, or visit my official bio at Pew's website. Visit my blog at http://blog.sciencejon.com to keep track of what I'm doing and writing, as well as good science I've read elsewhere. I have a blog about how to set up your own publications page to help Google Scholar find PDFs for all of the science articles you write.
