On “Misunderstanding versus Disagreement”

Jeffrey Ellis writes:

A great place for PhD’s to discuss relevant literature, and network with others is http://www.JournalReview.org. This site allows you to discuss any article indexed in PubMed, and when you leave a comment/question gives you the chance to share your thoughts with the author of the paper and up to 15 experts.

It is a great way to get answers to questions you might have… share your observations… propose future studies… and network with experts in any field you might have interest in.
