" It is part of your role to say no, enforce guardrails, and stop people pleasing when democratizing research. "

" Inclusivity, collaboration, and iteration are the three principles we really care about when creating conference programs. "

" We don't just need to do a better job of articulating our value. We need to become more valuable. "

" Advancing research as a practice, profession, and field is what this conference is about. "

" If you smush all these things together, you get the perfect whole. "

" We fear losing time teaching others instead of doing the research work itself. "

" What are you willing to say no to? That’s the heart of having a research strategy. "

" Building relationships means listening more than evangelizing and making research a partnership rather than a solo mission. "
