And, really, it's not really even about the effects that these folks have on our elections. I did my field work just kind of after I wrote this first book in Egypt in the middle of the Arab Spring
both as a team in maintaining our relationships as a group and individually with each other, and in our successes with our assigned tasks, our geological field work , or getting data for the researchers, was our mutual commitment to doing so. So early in the mission, we sat down as a crew, and we wrote a mission statement for ourselves.
So mine, I brought a drone. Because the geological field work is part of the study, a lot of it is focused on our teamwork while we do it.
something that's alive and well in many parts of the world witchcraft believes and actually in the region of Tanzania where I did field work in the district of may ought to half of all murders were murders of people accused of being witches so it's a major type of violent crime in that part of Tanzania is still a very
And I was coming from being at MIT as an academic. And what I learned in my field work and through growing up was a lot of knowledge that is handed down from generation to generation through practice.
We have the editors live in the area for 2 months to conduct interviews Why is it for 2 months If not live there and do field work for 2 months We will not be able to see the real side of the land We can do search on it We are not able to see the beauty of living the land So, we personally go and explore the area
Chimps are terrible, terrible people. So obviously a terrible place to do field work .
-- there's two reasons why we started the pro -- started this in the first place. And one of the reasons for our growth, that our rapid growth, is the first of these reasons. The first was doing this field work was not what we learned to do when we were in graduate school. That's the reality. The reality is that we learn in graduate school about theory, we learn about data analysis, and we do not learn how to manage a team of surveyors and we do not learn survey design, and we do not learn -- well, maybe a little survey design
people accused of being witches so it's a major type of violent crime in that part of Tanzania is still a very important phenomenon what I found on that field work is that cultural factors and psychological factors can't explain everything that economic factors and economic conditions are actually really
Oh, no. I'm not working on that. Research, field work , interviews, and revision.
So mine, I brought a drone. We were also assigned quite a bit of geological field work .
That's where you people belong. The implication was just we were not meant for anything but field work . So this man was six foot five, 250 pounds.
So what we did is we just kind of did a shotgun approach to see what kind of vomeronasal receptor genes were present in lemurs, and particularly mouse lemurs. So these are my own pictures from previous field work .
Her topic today is Spineless, the Portraits of Marine Invertebrates, the Backbone of Life. It's the result of seven years of field work in the Pacific Ocean, and it's no wonder that the physical space at Google that we're broadcasting from today is also called the Pacific Ocean.
I quit my job at a sea otter research lab. I raised enough funding for 124 days of field work , and this would allow me to learn and explore all the different possibilities, to recreate that sensation I experienced two years earlier.
And from six or five feet away from a whale's eye? And Peter able to fund five weeks of field work , which is a terribly short amount of time, but I was grateful.
So they help us with this sort of issue. We also have a geologist on staff who helps us both with our assigned field work as part of the simulation and just with questions that we have about the area around the Hab.
She was the chair of the Department of Photography at the California Academy of Sciences from 1982 to 1995. She currently serves as a research associate there and has been on many very interesting field trips and field work , which she will talk to us about today. And, of course, she did get that always exciting and always enviable Guggenheim Fellowship as a result of her work.
It's a jellyfish, and those little pom-pom shapes are feeding tentacles. And this is a favorite organism where I did a lot of field work on San Juan Island in the Northwest Coast waters. They're kind of hard to find.
It's very, very common in a lot of places -- it's a great story always like sort of brings us home about these people called the Tiv who live in Central Nigeria and this anthropologist named Laura Bohannan who wrote up of her experiences when she first did field work there. So she shows up, gets a house, doesn't really know the language very well.
and you've got to know what you don't know. And so you actually support the efforts of those on the ground and the aid agencies and the NOS's that actually have been doing the field work . And then finally those three pillars government for-profit and nonprofit work together to address the most pressing issues of our time which you know this is broken
It goes back to the 15th century and before. There's actually some -- it actually takes us back to Aristotle in the Western tradition. But it also is based around -- it also has quite a bit about field work which I've done in different places. I'm an anthropologist and I like to travel and meet people in a whole range the places.
I would spend time with people actually going and living with different communities, doing lots of field work , and interviewing people, hanging
But everything is from the word go, every bit of field work that we do, the structure underlies it.
So just the big data is not enough, and just the field work is not enough.
to the Earth as you do this um obviously I spend a lot of time doing extensive field work I'm I'm out hiking I'm not
we learn about data analysis, and we do not learn how to manage a team of surveyors and we do not learn survey design, and we do not learn -- well, maybe a little survey design -- but we do not learn some of the day-to-day management that needs to go into actually going and collecting this field work , or, in many cases, if we're actually working on an intervention we're working with some group and helping them think through what the actual product is that they're testing. And we're getting involved in that space. And this is
issues of corruption and violence we tell stories in the book based on our own research and on the research of other economists and really also based very often on our own field work and our experiences in a number of different poor countries around the world from small villages in east africa to the
I got my degree in biology at Harvard and wasn't really interested in test tubes or field work . I was more interested in the storytelling
big fast. And in New Mexico, where I've done a lot of field work where we have some of the best fossils of early mammals living right after the asteroid, we see that within 200,000 years of
That's interesting. So how has this impacted your ministry, the reconciliation part of the ministry, the field work that you do, the loving on people that you do?
And so the reason I have these three logos here on this map, including your own, is because in the country of Mexico, and I'll speak about this very briefly in this talk today, where I'm currently doing my field work , it's really fascinating. There have been some informal studies done, but emails and various forms of specific communication that are sent between one neighbor and their neighbor
Well, I think that what I found just again and again and again, whether that was through the field work or the academic staff or whatever.
I'd like to get more into this. All of these 3 are connected, and we have also progressed with these projects by doing some field work We would have realizations like "this is the kind of society we've become" or "we need this kind of perspective" while we progress through the project, and it would be nice if we can get into these things too
But the way it was shared, by learning through empathizing with each other This is a process that takes by staying in the area for 2 months With typical tourist magazines, places that will be featured are preset Through searching on the Internet They decide where to go beforehand and then go into field work I think that there are a lot of things that they cannot do That is where I think we put importance In a few categories, we only pick the places that were great and share them
One, from laboratory research that myself and colleagues have done, fieldwork, global field work around conflict resolution.
And I ended up-- again, my then girlfriend who was studying, she got an opportunity to do her field work in Morocco.
But all I could see-- those beautiful tree-like extended tentacles were not extended. This is their dock on San Juan Island, Washington State, where I did quite a bit of the field work for this project.
you can start to pick these environments off the map, because you know what you're looking for, because you've done the field work .
