This week Adam Smith is joined by three early career dementia researchers to discuss mental health struggles and self-care in academia. Are these problems that everyone goes through? Are there strategies that you can employ to help? We had so much to talk about... that we broke it down into two parts and this is part one. Those researchers are: Dr Katie Askew, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh and owner of two house bunnies called Lola and Floki. Dr Isabel Castanho, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Exeter, and a practitioner of aerial yoga and a front line soldier in the battle against the Omnics (which in layman’s terms means she spends a lot of time playing video games) Last but not least we have Makis Tzioras who is a PhD student also from the University of Edinburgh. Panellists choose the title of each podcast and today is “If you can’t love yourself, then how the hell you gonna love your science?”: A semi-serious chat about self-care in academia” – thanks to Katie for the title.

Patient and Public Involvement in Biomedical Research
June 8, 2020
•22m
Join Megan O’Hare interviewing the panel for an insightful discussion on PPI in biomedical research. On previous podcasts, we have discussed the importance of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) – and the value it can add to research project development and also to researchers themselves, people living with dementia and their carers. Today’s podcast looks at PPI in biomedical research as there is a growing trend toward involving patients and public in lab-based projects. The panel – Dr Lindsey Sinclair, from Bristol University, Dr Claire Lancaster from Oxford University and Dr Martina Bocchetta from University College London, discuss how they have used PPI when developing their research projects and applying for funding and share tips on best places to seek out PPI help and involvement and what they have learned along the way.

Neuroinflammation drug discovery in stem cell-derived microglia
July 6, 2020
•40m
In this week’s podcast we explore why Microglia are awesome, why our panellists use induced pluripotent stem cell models and how they feed Genome wide association studies hits and basic science into drug discovery with phenotypic screening. Meet our panellists: Dr Hazel Hall-Roberts, who is a black belt in Wado-Ryu karate and Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology & ARUK Oxford Drug Discovery Institute. Dr Emma Mead a Senior Neurobiologist, allotment holder, kitchen creative and Team Leader at the ARUK Oxford Drug Discovery Institute. Maria Kreger Karabova a DPhil student also at Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford. Maria’s claim to fame is that she once overhead-squatted her postdoc supervisor (I am sure a few of us would like to do that). Megan Calvert-O’Hare is hosting the discussion which was recorded over Zoom (so apologies if the sounds quality isn’t up to our usual high standards).
