Dr Becky Carlyle - It Could Happen Here: Defending Research from Politics

Dr Becky Carlyle, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this timely and personal blog, Becky urges scientists to take a more active role in defending research from political manipulation and public mistrust. Drawing parallels with the US experience, she argues that UK researchers cannot afford to stay apolitical, and must instead engage with their communities, communicate uncertainty clearly, and build coalitions at the local level. From co-designing research with the public to ditching online echo chambers for real-life conversations, Becky sets out practical ways to reconnect and reinforce science’s place in society.

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.
