Dr Gaia Brezzo - Teaching as an ECR, why take the time to do it?

Dr Gaia Brezzo narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

As Gaia mentioned in her first blog, she had a slightly different PhD experience to most. Her funding and course enrolment fees were paid for by a Teaching Fellowship. This provided four years in which to run experiments, write up a thesis and teach for up to 180 hours in her department every year. In this blog, Gaia explores how this joint research-teaching experience helped her as an ECR, shaped her research and career to date and opened up other avenues and opportunities along the way - it also includes a few tips on how to get teaching.
