SUMMARY:Evaluating and Improving Engagement of People with Lived Experience in Dementia Research
DESCRIPTION:The ISTAART Partnering with Research Participants Professional Interest Area (PIA) invites you to a four-part learning series titled Evaluating and Improving Engagement of People with Lived Experience in Dementia Research. \nThe goal of this series is to build capacity and skills of researchers to conduct evaluations of research/projects that engage people with lived experience. Over the entire meeting series\, each participant will take part in both didactic learning and discussion sessions that help them to develop an evaluation plan  for a research/project that engages people with lived experience of dementia in order to improve their work. \nLearning objectives for participants include: \n\nDevelop or enhance knowledge of basic approaches to evaluation and improvement\nBuild skills in using an approach to evaluation that can be applied in participants’ own work\nDevelop or enhance knowledge of various data collection methods used in evaluation\nIdentify effective and relevant data collection methods for participants’ own evaluation purposes\nAddress ethical and methodological issues in order to be dementia friendly in the evaluation\nArticulate an evaluation and improvement plan\n\nEach virtual meeting will be 90 minutes. Sessions will include short didactic “theory bursts”\, small group peer feedback conversations\, and large group discussions. Attendees should aim to participate in all four meetings to gain the most impact and benefit from the training. Participants will be expected to individually complete brief pre-work for each session in order to incrementally develop their own evaluation plan. All four meetings (not small group discussions) will be recorded\, for those who may be unable to attend a session. \nOur schedule is: \n\nSession #1: Thursday October 30\, 2025 at 3 p.m. C.T.\nSession #2: Wednesday December 10\, 2025 at 10 a.m. C.T.\nSession #3: Wednesday\, February 18\, 2026\, 10 a.m. C.T.\nSession #4: Thursday\, April 23\, 2026 at 3 p.m. C.T.\n\nRegistration for the series is required.  Once registered\, a calendar invitation for each session will be sent to you.

SUMMARY:Catchup - Debate - Should Teaching Be Required for Postdocs?
DESCRIPTION:Should all postdocs be required to teach? Join Sara Zsadanyi and Rachel Allen for a live debate on 10 December at 8pm GMT and cast your vote. \n\nDebate Motion: \nThis House would make teaching experience mandatory for all postdoctoral researchers.\n\nWhile some argue it enhances communication skills\, broadens career opportunities\, and supports student learning\, others suggest it may overburden researchers\, divert focus from academic outputs\, or simply not suit every career path. Join this debate to explore whether teaching should be required or remain optional. \n\nSpeaker For the Motion:\nSara Zsadanyi is a PhD Student in the Sant Pau Memory Unit – Neuroimaging Core and Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. Originally from New Zealand she moved to Barcelona\, Spain to undertake her PhD. Her research is focused on neuroimaging of small vessel disease in Down Syndrome and autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease. \nSpeaker Against the Motion:\nRachel Allen is a PhD Student (now passed her viva) at University of West Scotland. Rachel is focussed on researching the career development for those with young onset dementia\, exploring the the relationships between work\, identity and disability. \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 consider how we define postdoctoral development\, and whether teaching should be seen as essential or optional for future academic success. \n\n\nWatch the Recording
