0:00.0	Having a discussion versus just screaming at each other is the key to actually the difference between not developing and becoming a better researcher as opposed to actually learning and becoming better.
0:21.6	So I would say step one before you, when you meet someone who seems to disagree with what you have to say,
0:28.6	I would say make sure that both parties are open to changing their minds.
0:34.6	So if you notice that the other party has no situation in which he or she will
0:40.2	change their mind and same goes for yourself, then there's no point in having a discussion
0:45.8	because then it's not a discussion. Hello and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio.
1:07.5	We are here at episode 245 of the podcast today. And this will be a particularly
1:15.3	interesting episode for those you who are interested in both trying to get better at

2:24.3	Kirstie Elliott Sale of Nottingham Trent University and Dr. Nicola Gess of King's College London.
2:31.3	So we're going to get into all sorts of awesome stuff on the day. You as an
2:35.0	audience member will also get your opportunity to ask questions and get involved in some of the
2:39.6	discussion. And then there will also be plenty of time for you to meet, hang out with and
2:44.6	become friends with many other of the people that are attending, both who are doing great things
