Two more sleeps

The academy has been most useful for the biggger picture of research as well as nitty gritty stuff - the writing input as regards genres was so well presented and adds a whole dimension to being able to help students and the new researcher. The components of the Academy are fitting together so nicely and the bigger picture is starting to take shape as well as worthwhile input for our research papers. The Academy has interwoven layers of thinking, practice and curiosity to fine tune much of what we already know and expand prior knowledge.

R is a prominent letter - the research librarian for the emerging researcher"etc". I think the purpose of the Academy can be summed up with the 'R' words: Review, Remind, Re-examine, Reveal, Reinvent, Replicate and soon to Reflect and Realize the aims of this experience.

To respond to the two R's from 3 challenging Witsies... Our comments on the academy in C's. We have been challenged to be cool, communicate, creative, corruscating, collaborative, communing, curious, cerulean, charmed, convincing, chuckling, climbling and to concentrate very, very hard on converting the researchers to our way of thinking.

Yes, its been a week where quite a few things are falling into place. Anxieties to do with coming to grips with the Academy research projects were somehow alleviated by the research writing presentations. Of course, Prof Nassimbeni's very honest discussion of the peer - review process added a new dimension to the research project challenges.
