Rebecca Williams - Be the Door, Bringing Academia to Life

Rebecca Williams, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

Rebecca reflects on the importance of representation and authenticity in academia, sharing how being open about her journey and background has helped make the field more accessible. She emphasises the value of showing future scientists that challenges and doubts are a normal part of the process and encourages academics to share their experiences to help others see a path into science. Her blog offers a thoughtful perspective on how small actions can make a meaningful difference when it comes to inspiring young-people and the next generation of researchers.

Rebecca Williams is PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Though originally from ‘up North’ in a small town called Leigh, she did her undergraduate and masters at the University of Oxford before defecting to Cambridge for her doctorate researching Frontotemporal dementia and Apathy. She now spends her days collecting data from wonderful volunteers, and coding. Outside work, she plays board games, and is very crafty. @beccasue99
