Looking back and learning from the PhD years

In our last show we spoke with four dementia researchers who were at very first stages of their PhD studies. This week, is the sequel, we close the loop with three people who recently completed their PhDs and a guest from last week. We learn what got them through, what they would do differently, and what advise they have for those in their first year of a PhD.
Hosted by Adam Smith with guests:

Chloe Tulip, from Swansea University, researching sleep and dementia.

Dr Anna Volkmer, Speech & Language Therapy Researcher, from University College London

Dr Chris Hardy, Senior Research Fellow from University College London

Dr James Fletcher, Teaching Fellow from King’s College London
