A Revolutionary Method for Researchers and Mentors at All Career Stages

The hardest part of research isn’t answering a question. It’s knowing what to do before you know what your question is. Where Research Begins tackles the two challenges every researcher (and mentor) faces with every new project:

  • How do I find a compelling problem to investigate—one that truly matters to me, deeply and personally?
  • How do I then design my research project so that the results will matter to anyone else?
