-: I think my favorite part of the research is definitely
seeing the impact that we can make on peoples' lives.
Generally, day by day, I'm usually just at a computer,
and I don't get to hear too much, but the days
that I get to hear feedback from the participants,
and how much it has helped them with what we do,
and we host a conference every year,
the Caring For Persons With Memory Loss Conference,
and they all are just like so appreciative,
or if they have they feedback too, like when we're
not quite meeting their needs, like, we can help with that.
I think that's my favorite part, is just seeing the impact
that we can make on peoples' daily lives.
The biggest challenge is research can, kind of,
be a little mundane at times.
It's a lot of repetition, you have to get a lot of data
into the computer, you have to get a lot of participants.
You have to kinda jump through hoops with the IRB
and proposals, and I'm still definitely learning how
to do that efficiently and effectively.
So, I think it's great experience, but yeah,
that would probably be the most difficult part of the job.
