Blogs and Podcasts

 

I hope you’ve enjoyed the information I have been sharing related to research during my last 2 years as research coordinator, even if they are not relevant to you at this point in your journey. All of my posts are available on my IS Coordinator blog site (https://drlynnekennette.blogspot.com/ or http://www.drlynnekennette.ca/) for you to reference when you need to know the information.

As you prepare for summer, I thought I would suggest some scholarly and/or research-related podcasts and blogs.
