Research begins with curiosity, but it does not stop there. I’m interested in learning how to ask questions that can be investigated, follow evidence carefully and explain what the evidence does—and does not—show.
An illustrative research-planning exercise: frame a question, consider what could be observed and note the limits before drawing a conclusion. It reports no real experiment or findings.
My interest in science and research is part of an ongoing education. I like following an idea, understanding the background and looking for ways to separate an interesting possibility from a supported conclusion.
Innovation, to me, is not just novelty. It is noticing a need, making a thoughtful attempt at an answer, and being open to changing direction when new information appears.
