ABSTRACT
Introduction If you were asked to envision someone “doing research,” you might imagine a student in a library sitting amid stacks of books. Or you might picture a scientist in a white coat sitting in a laboratory surrounded by flasks of colorful, bubbling liquids, peering through a microscope. Certainly, both are examples of people doing research, but they illustrate a narrow, although popular, view about research: namely, that it is academic and somewhat removed from our everyday world.
