Blogs 2021 – Essentials For New Researchers

We’re finishing the year with 5 special themed podcasts sharing some of the narrated blogs we’ve published throughout the year, introduced by Adam Smith.

This week we’ll be covering some amazing science and care and psychosocial research, exploring public engagement and with the rise of omicron we’ll go back to earlier in the year to learn some lessons from previous lockdowns and think about wellbeing and resilience.

Today, we’ve selected four blogs which are perfect for new Researchers, PhD & Masters Students, anyone thinking of coming to work in the field.

Dr Anna Volkmer, Senior Researcher & Speech and Language Therapist at University Collect London narrates her blog titled "Why Dementia Research is the most exciting place to be working".

Beth Eyre, PhD Student at The University of Sheffield covers "What I wish I’d known before starting my PhD"

Dr Emily Oliver, Lead Dementia Nurse and Clinical Researcher shares her tips on "What should I research and how do I formulate a research question?"
