Introduction: Views on Researchy Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to

think what nobody else has thought- Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

(A Hungarian Physiologist who won the Nobel Prize)

y People tend to work in teams, in a collaborative way, inan informal network. If you create an environment likethat, it's much more effective and much moreefficient.

- J im Mitchell
