Welcome to Things we read this week, a weekly post featuring articles from around the internet recommended by BMJ’s Digital Group members. These are articles we’ve read and liked, things that made us think and things we couldn’t stop talking about. Check back every Friday for a new post.

- M.G. Siegler raves about the new version of Firefox which inspired us to write a post about how to listen to BMJ articles using Firefox. Although the audio narration in Firefox isn’t too bad it’s nowhere near as good as these examples from Tacotron 2
