(december 12, 2012 - thunder bay, on) prominent author and researcher, dr. david streiner, knows that research projects can easily get off track and will speak about how researchers can prevent that from happening.
"dr. streiner will start his presentation by reviewing a partial list of murphy's laws as they affect research projects " for example, how anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and anything that can't go wrong will go wrong too," said lakehead's bruce weaver, research associate in the centre for research on safe driving, who is helping organize the talk.
lakehead's faculty of health and behavioural sciences presents the distinguished speaker series with dr. streiner, professor emeritus in mcmaster university's department of clinical epidemiology and biostatistics.
dr. streiner is also a joint member of mcmaster's department of psychiatry and behavioural neurosciences, and a professor in university of toronto's department of psychiatry. his presentation is called when research goes off the rails: why it happens and what you can do about it.
the purpose of the thunder bay talk is to encourage researchers to persevere. "dr. streiner won't discourage researchers; he will try to "˜inoculate' them to the realities of doing research, and give examples of how inventive researchers can be in overcoming difficulties," mr. weaver said.
