Action is rarely generated from reports and PowerPoint, despite the hours we dedicate to these mediums. User experience researchers have begun to employ techniques like hosting <a href=\"https:\/\/dovetailapp.com\/blog\/share-insights-stick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">museum nights<\/a> and other live and virtual events to socialize their findings. I\u2019ve written about <a href=\"https:\/\/maryaviles.com\/blog\/detroit-local-case-study-4-show-me-dont-tell-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Civilla\u2019s<\/a> research exhibit space, the <a href=\"https:\/\/dvsnightingale.wpenginepowered.com\/the-undocumented-migration-project-data-visualization-as-an-act-of-witnessing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hostile Terrain<\/a> installation, and <a href=\"https:\/\/dvsnightingale.wpenginepowered.com\/review-mapping-affinities-by-dario-rodighiero\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dario Rodighiero\u2019s<\/a> physical installation at the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) School. In August, I visited Mindworks in Chicago, Illinois, to see academic research on display in real life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Mindworks bills itself as both an interactive discovery center and a behavioral science lab. The venue takes advantage of optimal foot traffic via its retail storefront on Michigan Avenue, situated near public transportation and the Bean&#8211;a major tourist attraction. It\u2019s window displays are designed to pique curiosity and invite passersby in. Visitors are greeted by a friendly &#8220;receptionist&#8221; who explains that the hands-on exhibits serve as active data collection for behavioral research. In fact, the staff are all behavioral science students and researchers from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business (the organization behind this operation). The receptionist also sets expectations for your time commitment&#8211;typically 30-to-60 minutes&#8211;and highlights the \u201cmerch\u201d you can purchase with the points you earn for your participation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not your typical research facility recruitment experience!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div
