Decisions can be fraught. There is a pressure to pick the best research project – the option that is most inspiring, with the most potential – the one that perfectly fits your burning interest. I encourage you, in making this choice, to consider the flow of the universe around you. At any given time there is a research question that will be supported by circumstances. This could take the form of kind, talented collaborators who are enthusiastic and able, financial resources within easier reach, a dataset that is a ready match for the question, or an approach that aligns solidly with your strengths. Consider this path. Consider it even if it means setting aside your pet question for a time. There is so much research to be done to make the world a better place. By selecting a supported path, the work will get done with more ease. Call it grasping the low-hanging fruit or call it being practical, but completed work has impact, unlike the shiny idea inside your mind that hasn’t come to fruition yet. Ultimately you need both the inspiration and the finished projects. Maximize your contribution by not being too proud to accept support and take a simpler path to get something done.
