It takes courage to pursue insights

It takes courage to pursue insights

The past few weeks have been filled with many research defenses both at the graduate and undergraduate level. Having sat both as a panelist and as an adviser, my key takeaway is that the pursuit of insight requires courage.

Are researchers willing to swim through uncertainty to fill gaps in our knowledge?

Are panelists willing to trust the capabilities of the researchers?

Are we willing to rethink conventions at the cost of challenging our supposed stock knowledge and preconceived notions of how research should go?

Indeed, it takes courage to pursue insights.
