The workshop ended early. A 'pleasant surprise' we were told by participants. As the room emptied, we surveyed the remains of the day -paper cups, programmes and abandoned business cards. It was the second day of a two-day event focused on foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) that targeted 'frontline' workers. Now, we had one hour until the closing reception. Moving around the room, we decided that the waste from the workshop would have to wait until the next morning. What could not wait, I noted to my research assistant, was the collection and storage of data -'data' that would be later transformed into reports and recommendations. In addition to completed surveys and notes from student volunteers, a quick scan of the room revealed another cluster of material we would need to collect
