"Research can be a very myopic type of business. If you’re in qual, you tend to be in a very narrow tunnel, and you don’t see how other people do stuff. And if you’re in the quantitative side, you have a structure of how you tend to write things. I think coming to these conferences and hearing people present and speak, you hear different perspectives. I have been blown away by the quality and insights that I’ve gotten from these speakers." - Susan Fader
