In the Research Matters Podcast, I interview leading researchers in psychology and other social sciences in an effort to understand what they do that makes them productive. This podcast is intended to help graduate students, professors, and scientists learn actionable strategies that can help them in their own research endeavors. I strive to help draw out the tips, tricks, habits, and routines of extraordinarily productive researchers.
In these interviews, we cover topics like:
- How to develop a programmatic line of research
- How to build a team of amazing collaborators
- Getting things done
- Writing productively
- Grant writing strategies
- Creating an effective research lab
- Applying design thinking to research
- How to develop great research ideas
- When to turn your research into a book
- Managing grad students
- Maintain a balance with other aspects of life, such as health, fun, and family
- How to choose which projects to invest in
- How to be efficient
- And much more…
