During the AAIC, Dementia Researcher will be recording a podcast each day to reflect on the highlights from the days presentations. These shows will then be released the following day to share some of the great work, and to encourage listeners / viewers to revist things they may have missed. This year we're joining the conference online, and are looking for people who are also participating online to join us in our virtual recording studio - from anywhere in the world. Ideally we look for 3 people each day (Sunday - Wednesay), and recordings will be done at 7pm BST. We record these conference highlight shows each year, and they're super popular. It is a great way to potentially raise your own profile, and also share your thoughts with the wider community. Recordings are usually 30-40 minutes and you can listen to last years here. If you have time and are interested in being a guest, email us at dementiaresearcher@ucl.ac.uk
