In our last show we spoke with four dementia researchers who were at very first stages of their PhD studies. This week, is the sequel, we close the loop with three people who recently completed their PhDs and a guest from last week. We learn what got them through, what they would do differently, and what advise they have for those in their first year of a PhD. Hosted by Adam Smith with guests: Chloe Tulip, from Swansea University, researching sleep and dementia. Dr Anna Volkmer, Speech & Language Therapy Researcher, from University College London Dr Chris Hardy, Senior Research Fellow from University College London Dr James Fletcher, Teaching Fellow from King’s College London _____________________________________________________________________ This show is essential listening for anyone who is about to start a dementia or other science related PhD or for those within the first year.

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.
