About a month ago I started consulting a brilliant woman about refining my PhD research thinking. She has come through the hard way, with a doctorate in the medical field, and pretty quickly concluded that I was at the inductive/expansive/complexity/holistic/integrative end of the scientific research conundrum and should be looking to do something across disciplines.
Yes indeed.
She also quickly concluded that my original research idea wasn't well-formed. Fair point.
So it's back to the drawing board. Better to start of as right as possible than to get half-way through and find out it's wrong-headed.
