Dr Yvonne Couch - BIG Data

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. In this blog for Tech and Dementia Week, Yvonne talks about the amount of data people are generating, whether we can harness it for good using things like artificial intelligence, and how to approach these big data generating techniques properly without turning them into one epic fishing expedition. As ever, Yvonne brings some sensible opinions to the story (would you expect anything less?) and to quote the blog 'all you snazzy sequencing people are probably going to hate me'. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-big-data/ -- Dr Yvonne Couch is an Alzheimer's Research UK Fellow at the University of Oxford. Yvonne studies the role of extracellular vesicles and their role in changing the function of the vasculature after stroke, aiming to discover why the prevalence of dementia after stroke is three times higher than the average. It is her passion for problem solving and love of science that drives her, in advancing our knowledge of disease. Yvonne has joined the team of staff bloggers at Dementia Researcher, and will be writing about her work and life as she takes a new road into independent research. _____________________________________________________ Enjoy listening?
