In response to Miki Ebisuya, I want to share my #AllTimeFavoritePaper . These are relatively old papers, but heavily influenced me. Starting from relatively simple observations, they lead to fundamentally new concepts. I also have many many recent papers that I love! https://twitter.com/EbisuyaMiki/status/1294878974821138434
