2022/12/19

Dr Clarissa Giebel narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Academia can feel rushed at the best of times, and like going at 200 kilometres an hour at the most intense of times. Depending on your career stage, that can involve grant writing, papers, analysis, leading meetings and international projects, work trips (the most exciting bits of the job!!), presenting your work at conferences and seminars, a lot of public involvement, line management, providing feedback to your students and

2022/12/16

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. OK so that title was really boring. Apologies. But on the upside, it’s super obvious what we’re going to talk about today. For this one, Yvonne was inspired by two things. A chat with a junior colleague (who will know who she is if she’s listening) and the amazing Lonely Pipette podcast episode with Jen Heemstra. Yvonne approaches this topic in stages because it’s important to note is that what you prioritize and how you

Dementia Researcher Blogs ·

2022/12/13

Nathan Stephens narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. Dementia is rarely considered a market issue, well at least not explicitly. Yet the unequitable distribution of care and support, cost of care and unpaid care, and inequality of information are symptoms of a ‘failed market’. This is according to the Treasury’s Green Book which identifies four domains of market failure: under-provision of public goods/services, imperfect information about goods/services, externalities, and market or

Dr Sam Moxon - Looking back on 2022: A year of change

Dementia Researcher Blogs ·

2022/12/09

Dr Sam Moxon, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. It’s that time of year again. Time to go “really?! End of the year already?!” The time where you maybe take a second to look back on the year and reflect on what has happened, what maybe didn’t happen and what you want to do next year to keep moving forwards. That’s Sam's topic for this month and he hopes you will join him for the ride and maybe spend a little time afterwards thinking about this year and what you want to carry forwards

2022/12/05

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Kam is currently in the depths of that feeling most, if not all, academics experience throughout their careers, the feeling of failing. Three hits in as many months is enough to give anyone pause for thought! A grant application that doesn't get through to the next round, failure to get a paper published, and then an internal grant rejection. There are so many ways to fail in academia, and so many of us experience failure, often

Dr Gaia Brezzo narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Gaia is planning to attend an early career (ECR) event in person early next month. Even as a postdoc with quite a few years of experience under her belt, she still has that niggling feeling of guilt when she takes time away from the lab and the foreboding anxious wait to see if it was actually worth it. In this blog Gaia shares her thoughts on attending these types of events, what can be gained from them, why some of us might feel

Dementia Researcher Blogs ·

2022/11/25

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. Today Yvonne is talking science for, not opinions (although a few may creep in). This particular post was inspired by her recent attendance at an ARUK event. Almost everyone attending was working on clinical cohorts and everyone else, with the exception of Yvonne, was working on iPSCs. So today's blog is about induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC); what they are, why people use them and what they could be used for in

Dr Aida Suárez-Gonzalez narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. ReadClear is an app to support reading in posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). Aida and her team co-produced the service with a group of people living with PCA, and then went on to test it in a randomised clinical trial. Aida has blogged about the value of this PPI process in the past but has never written about how she supported participants to engage with the app during the trial and how co-production continued during the

Nathan Stephens narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. Questionaries are one of the most common data collection tools in the business along with interviews and focus groups. You’ve probably completed one, or at least been asked to. Yet if you’ve never designed a questionnaire there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. After Nathans recent experience of developing questionnaires, he is using this blog to help others avoid his self-inflicted misfortune. Find the original text, and

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. In this blog for Tech and Dementia Week, Yvonne talks about the amount of data people are generating, whether we can harness it for good using things like artificial intelligence, and how to approach these big data generating techniques properly without turning them into one epic fishing expedition.

Thaïs Caprioli narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Within the last two decades, the use of information communication technology (ICT) to deliver health and social care services has received considerable attention. The possible role of ICT to increase the number of people accessing care, whilst aligning with a cost-saving agenda, forms an enticing solution to an underfunded health and social care sector which is faced with an ever-increasing demand. The adoption of ICT in practice has

2022/11/10

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Historically, cognitive assessments for dementia diagnosis have relied on pencil and paper measures administered by a clinician. These tests are designed to evaluate various cognitive domains, such as memory, visuospatial abilities, and language, and should indicate whether there are potential signs of dementia. However, performance on these tests can be strongly influenced by other factors, such as cultural background or

Pippa's research is focused on exploring people with dementia’s perceptions and experiences of smart home technology. ‘Smart homes’ are one of the ways being proposed in which technology may be used to prevent hospitalisations and enable people to remain living in their own homes for longer.

2022/11/08

Dr Alan Cronemberger Andrade narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. Digital interactions could be useful for tracking health states, especially for brain disorders. The problem is that this kind of data may be harder to protect, and less controlled by ourselves. People with dementia, and other cognitive and behavioural problems, are vulnerable to data insecurity. In this blog Alan describes what digital phenotyping is.. the good and bad aspects of using it, and some future perspectives
