Fall break.

+Did the BIOINF-500 homework on reference management/citation. Figured out how
+to get Latex set up to do references. Lots of jank, but I think I've got it
+working now. JabRef produces a `.bib` file as its database. Then in the Latex
+document, add a preamble:
+
+
+ \usepackage[
+ backend=biber,
+ style=nature,
+ sorting=ynt
+ ]{biblatex}
+ \addbibresource{sjl.bib}
+
+Cite things with `\cite{foo}` and `\cite{bar,baz}`. Then `\printbibliography`
+to put the references section into the paper there.
+
+This is complicated by the fact that you have to run `biber` between runs of
+`pdflatex`, so I kludged together a `mklatex` script that does something
+horrifying like `pdflatex; biber; pdflatex; pdflatex` to actually make the damn
+document. Gross.
+
+I really need to get my latex stuff into a set of files, rather than
+copy/pasting everything into every single document.
