    Oh the joys of shiny things! I laughed when Fiona spoke of this because I, for sure, fall down that rabbit hole more than I care to admit. Fiona puts everything into perspective with ease. Excellent examples of research questions being too broad. I also love the use of the acronym SMART, which is one we used in the military leadership schools. Much praise to Fiona!

    Fiona's method of doing a research plan really resonated with me, even though I've heard the same thing from others, I feel like I finally get it!! Thank you for a great presentation!!
