This presentation was recorded for the December 2023 FRN Research Methods Session. It goes into detail about research methods relating to rapid experiments or studies. We look at what they are, why they are valuable, how they can be done well, and when they are appropriate. It builds on the presentation given by Elizabeth Dick at the last FRN WG meeting about Manor House Agricultural Centre.
