Adam Smith - How to Network and Advice for Making the First Move

Adam Smith - How to Network and Advice for Making the First Move

Adam Smith narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog, Adam shares practical and honest advice on networking in research. Drawing on personal experiences and real-life examples, he breaks down the awkwardness of making the first move, highlights the power of casual conversations, and encourages early-career researchers to embrace small, meaningful interactions. His message is simple but powerful: connection matters, even if it starts with just a like, a question, or a compliment.

Adam Smith was born in the north, a long time ago. He wanted to write books, but ended up working in the NHS, and at the Department of Health. He is now Programme Director in the Office of the NIHR National Director for Dementia Research (which probably sounds more important than it is) at University College London. He has led a number of initiatives to improve dementia research (including this website, Join Dementia Research & ENRICH), as well as pursuing his own research interests. In his spare time, he grows vegetables, builds Lego & spends most of his time drinking too much coffee and squeezing technology into his house.
