I have no idea how you manage to do extensive research if I was at your place I would do research and then be wrong about everything

OWDNWKDNWKD IM CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO TBH.... but really its just about hunting down the right resources and doing a lot of cross-referencing for me!!! I really enjoy learning new stuff and highly value accuracy so i have a lot of fun fishing for scientific papers and going on research binges for information i can use in a story-- sometimes it takes a minute to sift through the academic language so i can understand what its saying, but usually i can get the gist of what im reading, which helps a lot when i start cross-referencing with more layman-friendly articles :]

#shouting speaks #asks #idk how extensive i'd call my research binges but they usually last abt 2-4 hrs whenever im really invested in smth #i know that au where i started researching different ways to make tattoo ink took a solid THREE DAYS tho that info was hard to find 😭😭😭#tbh the cross-referencing is v important to me bc there can be conflicting information out there #so i like to cast a really wide net at first and take notes on whats generally represented in all of the papers and articles i peruse #and then start really narrowing my searches to specific pieces of info #and then kinda piece the picture together with a variety of different sources #altho sometimes i have personal experience with stuff so i can just add my own knowledge to the mix skfnwkdjwkdj #random fun fact!!! ive watched cataract and ent surgeries before!!! you'd be surprised at how useful the info from that is #txt
