Professor Calvin Moorley is a Nurse researcher I have admired ever since I met him. I was grateful that he made the time to join me on the Researcher Revealed podcast. He was so open in this episode sharing “cheats,” laughter, as well as delving deep into his journey into research and his vulnerabilities within that journey. I loved how for him ensuring ethnic diversity and inclusivity in your research starts even before you start your project. Listen to the full episode to hear more.
Top 3 Takeaways
