SUMMARY:Coping styles & help seeking in dementia research: DETERMIND
DESCRIPTION:“What can coping styles tell us about help seeking in dementia? Findings from DETERMIND” Presented by Isaac Duncan-Cross \nIsaac Duncan-Cross is nearing the end of his PhD at the University of Sussex under the supervision of Dr Eleanor Miles and Dr Ben Hicks\, focussed on affect regulation and help seeking in people with dementia. His research takes place in collaboration with the DETERMIND Project\, a national research initiative focussed on tackling dementia care inequalities in the UK. \nIsaac will present the mixed-method findings of his PhD research\, looking at the relationship between coping and formal service use in dementia. He will present coping styles as a novel predictor of diagnostic timing in dementia\, performing above and beyond pre-established sociodemographic predictors. He will also discuss both coping and help seeking post-diagnosis\, as experienced by people with dementia themselves. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:AI in Academic Writing and Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Community Insights: AI in Academic Writing and Publishing \nWill using AI impact my chances of publication?​ Who do I need to check AI policies with and how? What sections of a research paper is AI most useful for? \nArtificial intelligence (AI) is changing how research is written\, shared and reviewed. For some\, it represents an opportunity to advance research and make writing and publishing more accessible across the globe. For others\, it raises concerns about researcher integrity\, the quality of learning and the value of developing writing skills. \nAs the use of AI in academic publishing grows\, many researchers are unsure how to approach it confidently and responsibly. Questions remain about what is acceptable\, what should be disclosed and how to balance efficiency with authenticity in research communication. \nJoin senior Nature Portfolio editor Sadra Bakhshandeh (Nature Reviews Bioengineering\, Nature Biomedical Engineering)\, Springer Nature Head of Journals Policy\, Ellie Gendle and experienced researchers Kamar Ameen-Ali (Teesside University) and Wynand Lambrechts (University of Johannesburg) as they discuss current attitudes\, evolving policies and practical approaches to engaging with AI in your own work\, whether you are an early adopter\, a cautious observer or somewhere in between. \nDuring this webinar\, they will answer your questions and share practical advice to help you: \n\nUnderstand how to discover and interpret relevant AI policies\nEvaluate opportunities and risks when considering AI tools\nAvoid common pitfalls that can lead to ethical concerns or rejection\nUse AI thoughtfully to enhance rather than replace your own writing skills\n\nPlease note that any questions should be submitted during registration\, via the registration link. While we will attempt to answer as many questions as we can\, in the interest of time\, we may only be able to cover questions of common interest\, so please keep your questions relevant to the topic of AI in academic writing and publishing. \n\nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Policy workshop for early- and mid-career researchers
DESCRIPTION:Supporting early and mid-career researchers focused on dementia & neurodegenerative conditions to bridge the gap between policy & research.\n\n\n\nJoin us for a full day of networking\, discussion and career development focused on bridging the gap between research and policy. This collaborative event is being co-organised by three organisations that support and train early and mid-career researchers: DeNPRU-QM\, NIHR Three Schools’ Dementia Research Programme\, and I-Care DTC. \nThe day will begin with a welcome from each of the co-organisers\, followed by a panel discussion chaired by Prof Yvonne Birks (University of York) exploring how researchers can effectively engage with policymakers and tailor their work to inform policy. After a networking lunch\, early and mid-career researchers will break into groups to discuss career-stage challenges before coming together for interactive activities designed to foster collaboration and communication. \nWe will conclude with a feedback session followed by a relaxed social event\, offering plenty of opportunities to connect and exchange ideas. \nIf you have any questions about the event\, please email denpru@qmul.ac.uk. \nPlease note that the only remaining tickets are for postdoctoral researchers. \n\nRegister
