Your Supervisor will play a vital role in your PhD, supporting you from starting out to submission (and beyond). But what does ‘supervision’ actually mean in practice? What sort of support and assistance can you expect your supervisor to provide? In this podcast Adam Smith talks with three researchers about their relationships with their PhD Supervisors. Getting underneath what good looks like and how you can influence this. We also discuss what can go wrong, and what that relationship is broken, and strategies to deal that, and still ensure success. This week’s guests are: Dr Prerana Sabnis, Cognitive Neuropsychologist with an interest in language comprehension. Currently blogging for Dementia Researcher having completed her studies at University of Trento, Italy and Macquarie University, Australia. Dr Claire Lancaster, Research Fellow at University of Sussex working on early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease and lifespan risk reduction, with a particular focus on the ApoE gene. Dr Barbara Ann Bush, Tenure Track Professor from Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, WA. Barbara doesn’t focus on dementia, but lectures on Nationalism, nostalgia, identity, and memory and her focus is on Communications. _____________________________________________________________________ While this podcast is more likely to be listened to by PhD Students.... We realise that some of you may be Supervisors yourself. If you are, we hope you’re brilliant. Here is the supervisors guide from UCL, which is always worth revisiting: https://bit.ly/3pFYFy2 You can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website: https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk A transcript of this podcast is also available here https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast-phd-supervisors-the-good-the-great-and-the-rest/ _____________________________________________________________________ Like what you hear?

In today's show, Dr Prerana Sabnis is joined by three Dementia and Neuroscience MSc Students from University College London. Morgan Daniel, Aiko Robert and Vaiva Zarombaite, discussing what motivated them to this course, what they have been studying and what comes next. Completing an MSc can prepare you for further study at PhD level, or for those not attracted to academia, it can prepare you lots of great roles in the workplace. When thinking about dementia, an MSc is also a great way for someone who perhaps studies in a non-science related subject to acquire advanced subject knowledge and for everyone to try their hand at extended independent research during their dissertation. We hope after listening to this show you are motivated consider an MSc or further education yourself. One our website you will find a brand new directory of courses: https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/higher-education-courses/ One of the aims of Dementia Researcher is to encourage people to consider a career in dementia research, both inside and outside academia. This week, we are very excited to be working with Alzheimer’s Society, Alzheimer’s Research UK, Race Against Dementia, Dementias Platform UK and the Dementia Research Institute to deliver our ‘Dementia Research Careers Festival’ as part of National Careers Week. We have a whole range of activities planned for the week, with live webinars, career blogs, q and a sessions and other activities which we hope will allow you to see how there really are opportunities for everyone, and how dementia really needs more people like you to become involved.
