Sometimes this journey may take as much as 7 years! Often, when the degree is completed, the research is published by the respective university, where the new doctor will purchase a leather bound copy that sits on their coffee table as proof of their accomplishment (in addition to the diploma of course). Our goal as part of the Refractive Thinker doctoral community is to get this research off the coffee table and into the hands of those who can benefit from the results. The goal isn’t to decorate the coffee table; the goal is to become an ambassador of change to add one’s expertise to the growing body of knowledge.
