Dr Yvonne Couch - How Being Seen Might Matter in Science

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. Even for Yvonne this one is going to be slightly obscure (her words), full of unnecessary references to books you’ve probably never even heard of and highly opinionated. Today Yvonne talks about reputation in science. Whether it’s possible to build one and how that might affect your career (PS Dementia Researcher could help with that...) - whether thats through your science, publications, the journals you choose... or being a TikTok sensation, which counts? Is it important?

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 writes about her work, academic life, and careers as she takes a new road into independent research @dr_yvonne_couch _____________________________________________________ Enjoy listening?
