I wrote a brief essay on the topic of research quality to be gathered together with similar essays written by my professorial colleagues at tema T. They were intended as conversation pieces for discussions about this both impossible and important topic. My own contribution was titled “On being part of a conversation: An essay to aid in talk about quality in research” and is available to download here.
