One of the most moving presentations at this year’s Congress
covered the trials and tribulations of doing research in Afghanistan and Iraq, essentially an update to last year’s story.

Matthew Warshaw of D3 Systems Inc., one of the speakers and MD of the agency in Afghanistan (ACSOR-Surveys), gave us the video below, produced by non-profit The Asia Foundation, to share with you.

It takes us through some of the more pedestrian measures they take to get at the information and is not nearly as horrific as some of the events recounted last year.

As an aside, if you happen to meet Matthew Warshaw or his colleague Karl Feld, get them to recount some of their intriguing and fun stories from over the years. Let’s just say that Afghanistan isn’t their only experience of working in some of the more gritty or risky parts of the world
