It was fantastic to hear @beh_zod's path. One of the major insights I took away was that researchers can have a lot of impact as product and/or organizational journalists.

"The perspective that we [user researchers] are only valuable as doers of research is part of the problem." @beh_zod delivering the first talk of the day at @UserResearchLDN on the roles of user researchers and the importance of their practice 🙌 #URLDN22 #UserResearchLDN

Over the last few months, I've received a large number of inbound requests for research help on projects from friends, founders, and VCs. I would love to share these requests with others that can take them on. If that's you, let me know here: forms.gle/QJpbxRBMuNcqx7QC7

Yet Another Year In Review - Year 02 — behzod.com/blog/yet-another-… I wrote about my second year of being "Behzod-as-a-Service." Unlike YAYIR 01, this reflection is lighter on lessons about being independent and heavier on reflections about the work itself.

Teaching people about research has always been one of the most energizing parts of my job. I’m excited to share that I’ve spent the last 9+ months working with @Reforge to build “User Insights for Product Decisions” which starts this spring! Apply here: reforge.com/user-insights-pr…

How’s headcount looking for 2021? Maybe it’s time to engage your colleagues in a #democratization practice to scale up without sacrificing rigor. Read @beh_zod's suggestions for framing as a teacher, not an oracle: bit.ly/2YkjEwB #UXR

When I talk about democratizating research, I'm talking about building organizations that learn in intentional, responsible, and sustainable ways. @dscout hosted @ranniefinds, @RoyOlende, and me to expand on what it takes to achieve that. Check out their summary here:
We talked with @beh_zod (@yetanother_ ), @ranniefinds (@Thumbtack), and @RoyOlende (@zapier) about what productive, responsible, and effective research democratization looks like today: bit.ly/32yh1aO #UXR #UX

Know what you own & what you're best at, and know what you're prepared to give away or hand off so you can build your ideal research environment. Create advocates that can enact your strategy. @beh_zod from @yetanother_ starting things off strong for Day 2 of #UXRConfAnywhere!
