As we prepare to welcome 2020 and a new year, we look back on some of the great podcasts we recorded during 2019 in this round-up of some of our favourite moments. A transcript of this podcast is available here on our website - https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast-2019-roundup-christmas-special/ Over the past year we’ve recorded 36 podcast with more than 70 dementia researchers and expert panellists. Those podcasts have attracted over 19,000 plays from all over the world, in over 50 countries (biggest increasing coming from the USA) and this hit a high for us in October when we started to trend at over 2,500 plays each month (3,245 in November and December is set to beat that record). We have covered a wide range of topics, from life in the lab, microglia and drug discover through to improving public engagement, care in hospitals and finishing the PhD and we promise to continue in 2020. Revisiting some topics, bringing you more researchers discussing their work, and new features including talking to senior researchers to understand what makes them successful. Remember the podcast is just a small part of what we do to support Dementia Research and Early Career Researchers. Our website www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk is packed with great content, from blogs discussing researchers work and careers, articles on coping with academic life, and useful summaries of all the funding opportunities, jobs and events that we can find. We also have a WhatsApp support group just for ECRs. Thank you to everyone of you for listening, we will be back on the 6th January with a podcast discussing study volunteer consent.

Listen to hear how each of the panellists find navigating the 'grey area' of capacity, hear a remarkable story of bravery from one person who took part in dementia research and hear the panel discuss how we could all benefit from taking the time to produce inclusive documents that are not too long and jargon-filled. The panel discuss their experiences within the context of adhering to the English and Welsh mental capacity act of 2005: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2005/9/contents The useful website Dr Aida Suarez-Gonzalez mentions can be found here: https://www.changepeople.org/ The resources developed by Jill Pearl and Speakability can be found in their new home on the Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists (CAT).
