Helping manage and grow research
to benefit businesses and communities

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

Ged Hall's got me thinking about negative impacts and I'm reminded of this axiom: to the privileged, equity feels like disadvantage. Impacts that feel negative to some people are not necessarily a bad thing. #RIsummit

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

Insights from Ged Hall: Don’t assume that some kinds of research are more likely to have impact, and don't value process (engagement, anyone?) over people and outcomes #RIsummit

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

Mark Reed encourages us to ask: "Can you solve the problem without doing any research?" There's a lot of research out there already that could be implemented, sooner and cheaper #RIsummit

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

Gavin Jack is also asking: what is the purpose of our research? Starting point for researching for impact #RIsummit

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

"Just because research hasn't been done before, doesn't mean it needs to be done" - excellent advice from Lauren Ball #RIsummit

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

@acityofstories @EdinCityofLit Fun fact: New York City also has a statue of Robbie Burns!

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

There's no getting around it: you get better with practice, whether it's systems thinking (Derek Cabrera) or being creative (Geoff McDonald) #RIsummit

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

Great to hear from Tamika Heiden herself in #RIsummit - I'm starting to think how I can use AI tools to create images!

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

Good advice from Dr Jenny Grant Rankin: use social media to show people what you can (and want to) do for them #RIsummit

I think Adam Liberatore's advice for prospective engineers is probably true for many disciplines, maybe even most: stay curious and keep asking questions.

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

Tamika drops such interesting comments into her interviews with other presenters, it'll be great to hear from her in her own right at #RISummit2023

I've signed up to two events at this year's Research Bazaar Aotearoa, how about you?

[Lesley Brook @lesleybrook3]

I like this approach, that research ethics is giving effect to the values and integrity of the researcher as well as of research participants and other stakeholders
