• If you read this blog on a regular basis, I’m sure you know that while I’m undoubtedly an “experiment in the trenches” kind of guy, but I’m also very evidence-based in a lot of things I do. As such, I spend a lot of time reading research. Doing so not only affirms or refutes what I’m doing, but also provides me with consistent content ideas for this blog: read more, write more!

• Then, down the road, when it comes time to interpret research on a scholarly journal, they overlook key elements of a study, misinterpret results, or let poor research practices slide.
