PhD Supervisors - The good, the great and the rest
Your Supervisor will play a vital role in your PhD, supporting you from starting out to submission (and beyond). But what does \u2018supervision\u2019 actually mean in practice? What sort of support and assistance can you expect your supervisor to provide? \n\nIn this podcast Adam Smith talks with three researchers about their relationships with their PhD Supervisors. Getting underneath what good looks like and how you can influence this. We also discuss what can go wrong, and what that relationship is broken, and strategies to deal that, and still ensure success.\n\nThis week\u2019s guests are:\n\nDr Prerana Sabnis, Cognitive Neuropsychologist with an interest in language comprehension. Currently blogging for Dementia Researcher having completed her studies at University of Trento, Italy and Macquarie University, Australia.\n\nDr Claire Lancaster, Research Fellow at University of Sussex working on early detection of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and lifespan risk reduction, with a particular focus on the ApoE gene.\n\nDr Barbara Ann Bush, Tenure Track Professor from Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, WA. Barbara doesn\u2019t focus on dementia, but lectures on Nationalism, nostalgia, identity, and memory and her focus is on Communications.\n_____________________________________________________________________\n\nWhile this podcast is more likely to be listened to by PhD Students\u2026.
