Every week we publish blogs written by a fantastic group of regular contributors, and special guests from across the world. Researchers at all stages of their careers, working across all areas of science. Discussing their lives, their research and general careers topics. Their blogs are a fantastic source of information, advice and top-tips and we know from the feedback we receive, that they’re also great at helping you to know you’re not alone in the difficulties you face. Every blog is narrated by the author, so our Programme Director Adam Smith has taken a look back over this year’s blogs and collated a five-part podcast special. Today Adam introduces blogs from Dr Anna Volkmer, Dr Emily Oliver, Dr Clarissa Giebel, Michelle Naessens and one of his own. Covering: • Doing a virtual viva and completing those darned amendments • The ‘insider’ researcher debate in qualitative research • Waving a flag for better social care in dementia • Brexit a nose slowly strangling academic research in the UK • The Post doc puzzle • Ways to avoid rubbish video calls You can find out more about our bloggers, and their work on our website. There you will also find the originals of these blogs, and more much more. Register on our website to receive our Friday bulletin, and never miss a blog in 2021. http://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk _____________________________________________________________________ Like what you hear?

As we prepare to welcome 2021 and say good riddance to 2020, we look back on some of the great podcasts we recorded over the last year, 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-2020-roundup-christmas-special Over the past year we’ve recorded 38 podcasts with 80 dementia researchers and expert panellists. Those podcasts have attracted over 25,000 plays from all over the world, in over 50 countries. The shift to remote recording has meant that that the audio quality isn't always as great as we would like. However, the pandemic has made the world a little smaller, and with video conferencing calls becoming the norm, it has allowed us to have more guests from across the world. We have covered a wide range of topics, from careers advice and support topics to basic science to care research, and the year isn't over yet! From the 28th December to 1st January, we will be releasing a new podcast everyday with a summary of our narrated blogs from across the year (essential listening for your festive recovery walks). We promise to continue in 2021. Remember the podcast is just a small part of what we do to support Dementia Researchers - on our website we regularly host webinars, have blogs and articles every week, and collate all the funding, events and job opportunities. Visit our website and register to receive our Friday bulletins. http://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk Thank you for listening, and to our supporters Alzheimer's Research UK and Alzheimer's Society.
