Dr Kaitlyn Regehr<\/a>, Lecturer in Media Studies<\/a>, will be hosting a new podcast series entitled How Researchers Change the World<\/a>, launching today, 7 May 2019.<\/p>\n

The series, which is supported by the publisher Taylor & Francis<\/a>, will release a new episode every two weeks, and will cover topics as diverse as new technology, the impact of social media, virtual reality, climate change, artificial intelligence, and gender studies.<\/p>\n

Every episode will follow the story of one passionate researcher and their journey from the initial spark of an idea through to world-changing findings.<\/p>\n

The first instalment tells the story of Dr Orii McDermott, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Mental Health, University of Nottingham, whose work as a music therapist gave her an awareness of the research needed to enhance her own practice and to improve the lives of her patients, people living with dementia.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the series, Kaitlyn said: \u2018I am thrilled to be working on this innovative project with the amazing team at Monchu<\/a> and WBBC<\/a> as well as with Taylor & Francis, a publisher dedicated to supporting researchers \u00a0at all stages of their careers.\u2019<\/p>\n
