#2"Development and Validation of a Biomarker for Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Human Subjects"
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....
Large cohort study done determining what the biological mechanism are of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).
Defines a new test, IBSChek which can be used to determine if a patient has a subtype of IBS. Anyone can get this test done now.

#9Not an academic paper, but I found the Roslyn (new C# compiler) whitepaper to be an interesting window into the future of programming languages: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2774...
"Tackling the Awkward Squad: monadic input/output, concurrency, exceptions, and foreign-language calls in Haskell" (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers...) finally made me understand monads. Or rather, why they have such an unreasonable draw on Haskell people. tl;dr: Monads are useful to thread data (state, side effects, ...) through a computation, without modifying all your function signatures (the functions can be lifted to work with the monad). But mostly, it turns out you NEED monads (or something like it) to sequence side-effects (since Haskell is lazy).
