Video Topic 3 - Turning down requests for new work
A statistician may need or want to decline requests for new or additional work from a current collaborator for many reasons, including a lack of time or even negative experiences with the collaborator. This video portrays a discussion between a collaborator who requests assistance with new projects and a statistician who turns down the work. The scenario encourages discussion about prioritizing projects and establishing boundaries.
