  • Dr Sam Moxon - Working on the Move

    Dr Sam Moxon - Working on the Move
    Dec 16 2025

    Dr Sam Moxon, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

    In this blog, Sam Moxon reflects on the discomfort many people feel when working in public spaces like trains or coffee shops. Drawing on British social norms and his own experience, he challenges the idea that working on the move is performative or attention seeking. Instead, he argues that flexible working can support focus, creativity, and better use of time. The blog encourages readers to let go of worries about how they are perceived and to take ownership of when and where they work.

    Dr Sam Moxon is a biomaterials Research Fellow at University of Birmingham. His expertise falls on the interface between biology and engineering. His PhD focussed on regenerative medicine and he now works on trying to develop 3D bioprinting techniques with human stem cells, so that we better understand and treat degenerative diseases. Outside of the lab he hikes through the Lake District and is an expert on all things Disney.

  • Rebecca Williams - The Rocky Road to PhD Submission

    Rebecca Williams - The Rocky Road to PhD Submission
    Nov 30 2025

    Rebecca Williams, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

    In this blog, Rebecca Williams reflects on the final stretch toward submitting her PhD thesis and offers a candid account of the pressure, doubt and exhaustion that shape the closing weeks. She shares how expectations about perfection created unnecessary obstacles, how imposter feelings surfaced at the moment she most hoped for clarity, and how the support of others proved essential when her own energy ran low. Her story highlights the value of community, perspective and acceptance during an emotionally intense period that many researchers will recognise. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-the-rocky-road-to-phd-submission/ --

    Rebecca Williams is PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Though originally from ‘up North’ in a small town called Leigh, she did her undergraduate and masters at the University of Oxford before defecting to Cambridge for her doctorate researching Frontotemporal dementia and Apathy. She now spends her days collecting data from wonderful volunteers, and coding. Outside work, she plays board games, and is very crafty. @beccasue99
