Relationships in “Traditional Research”
I know you only as a
researcher.
I do not contribute to
research question, design,
analysis or dissemination.
I have no access to the
results.
I know you only as a
subject.
My academic colleagues
and I have full control
over the study.
This is the first and last
time we meet.
I help out with the project.
I have no input into the
question or design.

It is when people really listen to us, with quiet, fascinated attention,
that the little fountain [inspiration, engagement, enjoyment] begins
to work again, to accelerate in the most surprising way.
I discovered all this about three years ago, and truly it made a
revolutionary change in my life. Before that, when I went to a party,
I would think anxiously: "Now try hard. Be lively. Say bright things.
Talk. Don't let down." And when tired, I would have to drink a lot of
coffee to keep this up.
Now before going to a party, I just tell myself to listen with affection
to anyone who talks to me, to be in their shoes when they talk; to
try to know them without my mind pressing against theirs, or
arguing, or changing the subject.‐
Brenda Ueland

Dark Chocolate is Healthy: Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables. These benefits are from flavonoids, which act as antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage that leads to heart disease. Dark chocolate contains a large number of antioxidants (nearly 8 times the number found in strawberries). Flavonoids also help relax blood pressure through the production of nitric oxide, and balance certain hormones in the body.
