Sounds good. To start us off: do you have your list of books that you recommend? You mentioned having books available through your group and I can also recommend some with free links if that would help.
I had a chance to watch that. Your point is well-received, and I feel this is how I read anyway when doing research in grad school. That said, I also feel that there is use in having a foundation. Foundations teach you where to look for insight. You can't read everything, but you can read the right things that then get you your bearings.
