They dig into Dr. Meade\u2019s background in the arts and the beauty that can emerge when combining interests from different areas. In Dr. Meade\u2019s case, she discusses how her background in the arts and her own personal experiences of creating art influenced the types of questions she initially asked surrounding the act of drawing and how it might help to benefit memory performance in general and its influences on biological processes such as those associated with aging and cognitive decline.<\/p>\n<p>Here at <strong><span style=\"color: #f2a900\">Office Hours<\/span><\/strong>, we also love the many other pieces of wisdom that Dr. Meade shares with us that aren\u2019t directly connected to her own research, such as how she frames research in general and how, for her, the joy of research is found in focusing on the process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the process of developing questions you find interesting and meaningful<\/li>\n<li>the process of finding the best way(s) to answer those questions<\/li>\n<li>and how, throughout the entire time, there is the joy of discovery and learning undergirding that whole endeavor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Research seems much less daunting when broken up in this way.<\/p>\n<p>When discussing the many competing demands that education and academia foists on students and faculty, it is refreshing to hear Alex and Dr. Meade talk explicitly about the need \u201cto give yourself a little bit of grace \u2026 that you don\u2019t have to do everything perfectly \u2026 like you have to sort of change your standards a little bit. And that\u2019s okay to do,\u201d or as Alex relates a friend\u2019s similar take: instead of allowing any one particular result or activity define you as a person, perhaps it\u2019s healthier to consider that submission or contribution as \u201cthe best you could do in that moment, and that\u2019s okay. It doesn\u2019t have to define you \u2026 and isn\u2019t a reflection of your overall capability or value as a person.\u201d Given that we\u2019re currently in the midst of exam season, it\u2019s perhaps the most important time of year to hear and reflect on these points. So, many thanks to Alex and Dr. Meade for taking on this concept that is so strongly built into our academic cultures: that the mark of a good academic is someone who can be most obsessed with and consumed by their work.<\/p>\n<p>Join Alex and Dr. Melissa Meade to engage with these ideas and many more.
