Episode 173 - From Practice to Research

This week we continue our look at what makes practitioners practitioners and researchers researchers…and how we both need each other to create a symphony of best-practices. It’s the researchers turn at bat so we discuss studies on how to widen the window of relevant research topics, to reframe methodology into better ways to answer relevant questions, and to put social issues front and center in the laboratory.
