Podcast – Blogs 2020 – Part 1

Every week we publish blogs written by a fantastic group of regular contributors, and special guests from across the world. Researchers at all stages of their careers, working across all areas of science. Discussing their lives, their research and general careers topics.

Their blogs are a fantastic source of information, advice and top-tips and we know from the feedback we receive, that they’re also great at helping you to know you’re not alone in the difficulties you face.

Every blog is narrated by the author, so our Programme Director Adam Smith has taken a look back over this year’s blogs and collated a five-part podcast special.

Today Adam introduces blogs from Dr Anna Volkmer, Dr Emily Oliver, Dr Clarissa Giebel, Michelle Naessens and one of his own. Covering:

• Doing a virtual viva and completing those darned amendments
• The ‘insider’ researcher debate in qualitative research
• Waving a flag for better social care in dementia
• Brexit a nose slowly strangling academic research in the UK
• The Post doc puzzle
• Ways to avoid rubbish video calls
