I have always focused on basic research, motivated by a desire to understand the world.
My interest in creating anything is that it be useful.
Some of the most interesting research that I did was about risk assessment and how ordinary citizens like me handle risk assessment and how irregular our risk assessments are.
What people actually refer to as research nowadays is really just Googling.
I usually don't have to do a lot of research in my work, as I'm writing about something I'm already familiar with.
