Is it important, do you think?

Yeah.

I mean, definitely.

I th- I think, so the, the sort of first fundamental benefit of partnering with a- an academic or academics is that we, there's a sort of intellectual and academic rigor behind the information we present.

So that's, that's really, really valuable.

Um, it was lucky with this project that also you had contacts with people who maybe I wouldn't have been able to have contact with, or I would've just had to sort of cold call or cold email if we wanted to, um, profile them in the gallery.

So having access to your contacts, but also, um, having, you know, informa- being able to present information that is, uh, rigorous and, uh, you know, is underpinned by research, that's really important.

What would you say are some of the kind of top tips that you would share perhaps with colleagues that might be in my position that are thinking about innovative ways of sharing their research, um, in kind of that civic space, perhaps they're looking into, um, collaborating with Leeds City Museum or, uh, a similar organization? What would be your two or three top tips, Adam, for them to really make the most of that opportunity?
