Conducting research is a deeply relational human endeavour - from the shared joy of engaging in an exciting project with a trusted research team to the complexities of navigating conflicting research priorities with a new collaborator. In this article, we explore seven different types of research relationships - from archenemy to academic bestie - and describe the advantages, disadvantages and forms of recognition befitting each of these relationships. Through this whimsical examination of the social aspects of engaging in research, we acknowledge the importance of human relationships that can motivate, support, impede, or undermine research work.
