<Title>Science Tip of the Week: READ!!</Title>
<Tagline>But what should I be reading?</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">One of the most important skills you can hone as a scientist is your READING skills! Spending some time every day with a book or an article, no matter what the topic, will help you learn to focus on what you're reading and keep your skills sharp all summer. <div><br></div><div>Not sure where to start? We've got suggestions!</div><div> </div><div>If you would like to stick to something science-y, but maybe not as technical as a scientific paper, you might try reading an article or two from <a href="https://www.science.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Science</a> or <a href="https://www.nature.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Nature</a>  (there are scientific papers in these, too, if you're feeling ambitious).
