Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Modelling human disease in animals has significantly advanced our understanding of major diseases and ways of treating them. Mammalian model systems, like mice, continue to be the dominant model of choice, with 79% of experimental and breeding procedures using rats or mice in Great Britain in 2020. However, these traditional models can be bottlenecks in the research pipeline, delaying progress in areas where effective therapeutics

Nathan Stephens narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. You already know Nathan the PhD Student, but what about Nathan the unpaid family carer? There are a number of reasons why he hasn't shared his and his family's lived experience with ‘you’ to date. It’s not because he's a fraud, nor because he hasn't tried... but because he simply couldn’t until now. In this post I he sheds a glimmer of light on their experience. There’s no real theme or even coherent narrative to the post, but he

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Are there are some days when all you feel you do is write? We imagine the life of a scientist is spent in the lab running experiments and making discoveries. The reality is far different. The further along Kam progresses in her career, the more time she spends outside the lab and in the office. Writing. But what is she writing about and how do you know if you're any good at it? In this blog Kam considers whether being good at

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. Yvonne was chatting with a friend recently about publishing things, and he was lamenting that he had a ton of stuff that was just sort of languishing unfinished. It was interesting but just not complete enough to be considered a paper. So today we’re going to talk about how we, as early career researchers, can help the scientific field change by thinking about how, where and what we publish - including just what to do

2022/06/15

Dr Anna Volkmer, narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Research in dementia is developing at a great pace. The race for a ‘cure’ may not be as close as we wish but there is so much more of a focus on developing what we can do to care and support people living with this diagnosis. Incidentally this aligns with a greater focus on, and acceptance of, qualitative research methods as a worthy and rigorous approach worthy of the attention and funding from the greater and more financially

Dr Clarissa Giebel narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Only a few short years after completing a PhD you will (hopefully) find yourself as a new principal investigators (PIs), thrust into a role that includes administration and management, budgeting, mentoring and — perhaps most difficult — shepherding junior researchers to achieve their full potential. Many researchers receive little training in leadership skills to help them adapt, in this blog we hear from Clarissa as she makes the

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. OK so this one is going to be dull (Yvonne's words, not ours). There, I’ve said it. There will be no humour, no fun historical factoids and nothing exotic or interesting that you might use as pre-dinner conversation starters. But planning a budget for a grant is something that young researchers aren’t inherently prepared for, we often have no formal training and end up making it up as we go along. So in this blog Yvonne

Dr Sam Moxon, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and Sam thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about something that he has recently started to experience.

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. In biomedical research there has historically been a tendency towards sole inclusion of males, particularly in preclinical animal studies. The reason has often centred on the potential variability of females relating to fluctuations in hormones which could confound the data. But could this bias towards studying males account for poor translation of preclinical to clinical research? In this blog Kamar discusses the importance of
