  • Professor Louise Serpell - From Academia and Beyond

    Professor Louise Serpell - From Academia and Beyond
    Mar 12 2026

    Professor Louise Serpell, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

    In this reflective blog, Louise looks back on more than three decades in academia researching neurodegenerative diseases and supporting students through their scientific journeys. She shares how mentoring young researchers became the most rewarding part of her career, but also describes the pressures that eventually led to burnout and a difficult decision to step away from university life. Now beginning a new chapter building a consultancy, Louise considers what comes next and how academia might better support creativity, wellbeing, and the people who make research possible.

  • Dr Emma Law - Managing patient expectations (without overpromising)

    Dr Emma Law - Managing patient expectations (without overpromising)
    Mar 12 2026

    Dr Emma Law, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

    In this blog, Emma discusses the delicate balance between encouraging participation in dementia research and being realistic about what studies can offer. She explains why people who register interest in research often expect immediate opportunities and how researchers must communicate clearly about eligibility, trial design, and uncertainty. The blog also highlights alternative ways people living with dementia and their carers can contribute to research beyond clinical trials, from public involvement groups to questionnaires and long term studies. At its core, the piece reflects on trust, transparency, and the responsibility researchers have when inviting people into the research process.

  • Bernie McInally - If Only I Were an ECR Lessons from a Bangkok Park

    Bernie McInally - If Only I Were an ECR Lessons from a Bangkok Park
    Mar 11 2026

    Bernie McInally narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

    In this blog, Bernie describes a striking scene in a Bangkok park where older adults gather every morning to exercise, sing karaoke, and socialise together. Watching this daily routine unfold sparks a research question. Could environments that combine physical activity, social contact, music and routine help support cognitive health in later life. Rather than focusing only on new interventions, Bernie suggests researchers may learn a great deal by studying what communities already do naturally to support active ageing.
