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.\n\nTheir blogs are a fantastic source of information, advice and top-tips and we know from the feedback we receive, that they\u2019re also great at helping you to know you\u2019re not alone in the difficulties you face.\n\nEvery blog is narrated by the author, so our Programme Director Adam Smith has taken a look back over this year\u2019s blogs and collated a five-part podcast special.\n\nToday Adam introduces blogs from special guests and Race Against Dementia Fellows, Dr Claire Durrant.
