People with dementia face many challenges to their independence as the condition progresses, often increasingly relying on their caregivers for tasks which had previously been simpler, such as managing appointments and shopping lists. Many studies are looking at how technology can help. In this podcast Emma Harding and Dr Nicholas Firth talking to Megan O'Hare, discussing their cutting edge research and how they researched the use of Amazon Echo and new technologies to help people living with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA).

Things I wish I had known sooner

Hindsight suffuses our working life, perhaps none more so than in research. Being as it is a process of discovery and learning of things we didn’t know. As such in many ways there will always be things we wish we’d known earlier. Today we would like to discuss whether the investigative process brings with it complexities and uncertainties that are universal, and can therefore be shared with others as a means to avoid similar pitfalls - as our panel explore 'Things they wish they had known sooner'. In the chair we have Dr Amy Monaghan from the Alzheimer’s Research Drug Discovery Unit at University College London. Amy is joined by Dr Deborah Oliviera from the University of Nottingham, Hanna Isotalus from University of Bristol and Dr Mark Dallas a Lecturer in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience at the University of Reading.

PhD students today face more challenges than most professors ever did. The supervisor has mentoring responsibilities beyond academic performance, including the student's well-being. But can does your mentoring have to only come from your supervisor or manager? And what if you have finished your PhD, where do you turn? And how can mentoring help, how do you find the right balance between supervision and mentoring, and how can that be applied to you and your career? In this weeks podcast Megan O’Hare talks with Dr Ivan Koychev and Dr Christoph Mueller from the University of Oxford about the challenges, benefits and practicalities of mentoring.
