Dr Becky Carlyle - How I Started My Own Lecture Course

Dr Becky Carlyle narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog, Becky reflects on creating a new lecture course for second year biomedical scientists, built around the molecular basis of neurodegenerative disease and dementia. She explains how teaching current research, from diagnosis and biomarkers to proteins, RNA, models, trials and uncertainty, helped students connect scientific discovery with the real challenges of dementia. The blog also offers practical advice for anyone thinking of building a course of their own, including teaching what you know, checking what students have already covered, giving clear handouts, designing fair exam questions, and remembering that students often treat a lecturer’s words as ground truth.

Dr Becky Carlyle is an Alzheimer's Research UK Senior Research Fellow at University of Oxford, and has previously worked in the USA. Becky writes about her experiences of starting up a research lab and progressing into a more senior research role. Becky's research uses mass-spectrometry to quantify thousands of proteins in the brains and biofluids of people with dementia. Her lab is working on various projects, including work to compare brain tissue from people with dementia from Alzheimer’s Disease, to tissue from people who have similar levels of Alzheimer’s Disease pathology but no memory problems. Becky is also a mum, she runs, drinks herbal teas and reads lots of books.
