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

SUMMARY:Catchup - Debate - Is Peer Review Beyond Repair?
DESCRIPTION:Can peer review still serve science effectively? Join Kalliopi Mavromati and Dr Evelina Valionyte for a live debate on 26 November at 8pm GMT and cast your vote.. \n\nDebate Motion: \nThis House believes that the peer review system is beyond reform and should be scrapped.\n\nPeer review is central to how we fund\, publish\, and assess research. But is it still fit for purpose and the essential standard we should work to? Or has it become a flawed\, outdated gatekeeper? Join us to explore whether peer review is perfect as it is\, needs to be fixed\, or whether it’s time to start over. \n\nSpeaker For the Motion:\nKalliopi Mavromati is a Research Assistant at the University of Glasgow. She works on improving patient reported outcome measures for stroke survivors and studies early processes linked to Alzheimer’s disease. With a background in psychology\, neuroscience and statistics\, she is driven by a wish to strengthen research practice and help the field understand the earliest stages of disease. \nSpeaker Against the Motion:\nDr Evelina Valionyte is an Alzheimer’s Society Research Fellow at the University of Plymouth\, specialising in the cell biology of neurodegeneration. Her current work focuses on selective autophagy and how neurons maintain health\, including mechanisms that keep protein aggregates in check. She completed her PhD in 2023\, holds a biochemistry undergraduate degree\, and has been awarded funding from Alzheimer’s Society and the Motor Neurone Disease Association. \n\nWhat to Expect\nJoin us for a live online debate where our speakers will present opposing views on the continued relevance of animal models in dementia research. The session will include: \n\n10-minute opening statements from each speaker\nModerated discussion\nAudience Q&A\nLive vote before and after the debate to see if opinions shift\n\nThis is your chance to examine how we decide what counts as credible research — and whether we need to reform the system or replace it entirely. \n\n\nWatch the Recording

SUMMARY:Primary Progressive Aphasia Forum
DESCRIPTION:A new open discussion space in the Dementia Researcher Community for researchers with an interest in Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). The aim is simple: to talk together about the work we are doing\, the challenges we face\, and the approaches that are shaping the field. \nHosted by Dr Anna Volkmer\, our first session will look at Randomised Controlled Trials in PPA. Rather than a formal seminar\, this will be a conversation about how RCTs are being used\, where they help\, and where they may fall short. Bring recent papers\, questions\, examples from your own work\, or just come to listen. \nThere are no presentations and no expectations. This is a chance to meet colleagues\, share thinking\, and help develop a space that supports our research community over time. \n\nJoin Us
