  • As in so many areas of intellectual and professional endeavour, lots of people have gone there before you, and they’ve been doing it for longer than you.
  • These are the topics that they said they’d like to see (and would make time to attend): A “Stats 101″ session for qualitative and/or humanities researchers, and how to be savvy in mobilising stats data. This idea of generating insight and understanding for those from one area (e.g. critical, qualitative, or quantitative methods) about another featured a few times. Writing for publication. I’ve seen these become especially useful when paired with sessions with journal editors, who are usually more than happy to pass on the common mistakes that will get your paper desk-rejected! Initiating collaborations / Networking. This can be a tricky kind of session to put on because so much about how a person approaches the process is informed by personality (e.g. those who hate conference dinners and will never attend them if they can possibly avoid them…ahem). Still, pushing out of comfort zones can be an extremely good thing at times. Grant application development strategies. This is very much my ‘home-ground’ topic at the moment, and I aim to build on my personal experiences of the grant roundabout in the near future. Other researchers’ stories. These are invaluable in providing reality checks about the research process, as well as inspiration about what’s possible for a really happening research area. New ways to assemble and disseminate research. This is another favourite area for me, particularly on the topic of building a digital profile (and particular efficiency flows, such as enmeshing blogging as part of research reflection/feedback and practice).

      So...should I start when they are four?
  • Toss after toss, she missed. Five tosses. Then 10
  • start with the recent evening when my 4-year-old daughter, Zoe, appeared before me wielding a yellow baseball bat and an important announcement: batting tees were for babies. > From now on, she would hit real pitches, like the big kids.

  • This time Zoe started off missing, then hit a foul ball. Then two fair balls in a row. Then three.

      Practice is just as important as talent.
  • Zoe, the youngest of four,

      Since she is the youngest she is more likely going to try to keep up with her older siblings, thus she will advance more rapidly compared to those who are the oldest in their families.

      Popularity of sports is determined by the culture.
  • Zoe whiffed with virtuosity and enthusiasm.

      surely something ranks skill and ability in tennis and golf. These are professional athletes after all, they get paid too!
  • Zoe hit the last toss squarely, and the purple ball zipped past my ear and smacked the window with a resounding gong

      just take time and practice to pick up something new
  • I fully expected Zoe to take to hitting like she'd taken to everything else.But Zoe, it turned out, pretty much stunk.
  • the average woman in South Korea is more than six times as likely to be a professional golfer as an American woman.

      interesting that a 4-year old is the best athlete in the household.
  • batting tees were for babies.
  • I felt as if I were receiving a grimly polite report suggesting that Zoe, despite her athletic promise, had regrettably tested negative for hand-eye coordination.
  • As the saying goes, something had clicked.

      Yea....its called practice. Some mothers always think their child is the best at everything and just will automatically pick up something so fast!
  • What is talent? It's a big question, and one way to approach it is to look at the places where talent seems to be located
  • This story could begin in many places
