Where Did the Series Come From?
The idea for the Methods Review Watch Series was originally developed in June 2021 as the Summer Watch Series by a team of doctoral students at the University of Minnesota: Elizabeth Campbell, Betty Zhou, and Chris Winchester. They proposed the concept to CARMA to help doctoral students better prepare for their methods exams and academic research.
