Building stories with your data

Building stories with your data can only happen with clear research questions and a matching experimental design. These are the first steps to any successful research study.

Critically evaluating and understanding research outputs, is a great skill to take with you as you further your career or as you enjoy reading and appreciating all the wonderful research that is created.
