Well, there you were just minding your own business when, just like the folks on Gilligan’s Island, you are whisked away to a deserted tropical island. The good news is that the island is equipped with all of the food, water and shelter that you will need for your stay. The problem is – you don’t know when you are going to be rescued!
But wait … just before you were taken to the island you had just enough time to grab three items to take along with you! These can be any three inanimate objects – not the dog or your spouse! Also … nothing that requires a power source. There are no electrical outlets to plug that iPhone, laptop or Kindle into. So, what do you take with you and why?
As a researcher you would find yourself making choices ranging from who do you include in your research to how do you present your findings. Decisions and choices that have a significant impact on the outcome, just like deciding what to take with you to the island. So … are you the practical type who takes an ax or sunscreen or can you be content with a soccer ball? Let’s see what everyone brings with them! I have made my post to get you started!
