The talk provides a brief primer on two related topics:

  • Responsible Science” – resting on the three core pillars of (a) credible research; (b) relevant research; & (c) independent research.
  • Pitching Research” framework [PRF] – a research planning framework that challenges a (novice) researcher to communicate their early research ideas effectively to an academic field expert.  The PRF aims to lay a basic foundation stone, serving as an enduring compass for all researchers on the “hazardous” journey of scientific discovery.


The session concludes with a brief summary of an extensive range of free research training tools, opportunities and events designed to enhance research skills and capacity building strongly aligned to the goal of pitching research as a responsible scientist!
