Emily Spencer - Staying Ahead of the PhD Panic Curve

Emily Spencer - Staying Ahead of the PhD Panic Curve

Emily Spencer, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this blog Emily reflects on the challenges of staying on track in her doctoral studies while balancing the demands of parenting. With limited funding time remaining, she outlines the steps she’s taking to pre-empt delays, manage ethics approvals, and write speculatively, highlighting the pressure many face to submit within the three-year funding period. Her story is a reminder of the quiet juggling act many researchers perform behind the scenes.
