Brian and Carolyn kick off our first evaluation podcast by exploring the apropos topic: how do we introduce ourselves as evaluators and explain what we do to others? We talk about the pains of being an invisible profession, share our successes, and discuss some interesting suggestions from the evaluation community about how to define ourselves… Evaluation scientists, anyone?
