This allows us to interact with people and observe their responses and react to them. Let me jump here a bit. How can we relate some of these ideas we've been talking about to traditional styles of doing research, which in some ways, seems very static. You know in graduate schools and other facilities, there are a lot of people doing research. But it gets done, then written in some form and put on a shelf.
Some people read it, but it usually stays in that original form forever.
I'd like to bring some seed and see how other people see it and how we can help it grow together. Or, to go back to the cooking metaphor, a research environment is like a chef's kitchen. It's a joint cooking venture, a co-construction of knowledge. This is really an attitude of research. Yes, I think this is what I'm getting at.
