What advice do you have for prospective or new researchers?
Research is both rewarding and challenging because it takes time. Developing your ideas often requires learning new concepts and tools, and not everything you learn will directly benefit your current project. Still, the process strengthens your ability to learn and expands your knowledge in ways that can enrich every part of your life and career.
