The Ask Your Mentor Podcast from Dementia Researcher and Alzheimer's Research UK. In this show mentees interview their mentors, discussing their careers, decisions they made along the way, triumphs and mistakes - sharing their lessons and top-tips to have a successful career in dementia research. Mentoring helps mentees tap into the knowledge of those with more experience to learn faster than they would on their own - and in this podcast we hope the experiences of the mentors can help our audience grow and develop as independant researchers. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk
