Ella Moonan-Howard and Pepsi Reilly - 4 reasons academics make good Innovators

Ella Moonan-Howard, narrating her and Pepsi Reilly's blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. In this blog, Ella and Pepsi, explore why academics make great innovators. Drawing from her own journey from academia to dementia innovation, they highlight how research skills like project management, adaptability, and a scientific approach to problem-solving can drive impactful product development. The blog discusses the benefits of applying these skills in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and introduces the Alzheimer’s Society’s Launchpad programme, which helps academics turn ideas into real-world solutions for people living with dementia. Find the original text, and narration here on our website.
