What Makes a Good Researcher?

There wasn't really a school of UX when I got into this, right? So we've had to kind of find our way. And so being an apprentice meant, well, what task will we let Steve do? I could review video from interviews or I could sit in in synthesis meetings. Like there'd be two people out in the field. One would be running the interview; I'd be allowed to hold the camera. Then I could ask one question and then I could co-lead. There was just a slow kind of onboarding over, you know, many, many projects to take on like the range of tasks that we think a researcher should be able to do.
