Podcast appearances and mentions of oz ismail

Victoria Gill and guests ask why does scientific communication matters in society and how it might be done better, with Sam Illingworth, Berry Billingsley and Ozmala Ismail. The climate crisis and Covid-19 have shown over the recent years the importance of reliable, relatable, transparent and trusted science communication. But just like science itself, it comes in different forms and takes different approaches. Always keen to keep you up to date, BBC Inside Science takes a moment to discuss good practice and how it might be done better. Dr Oz Ismail is a dementia researcher who also finds time to do stand-up, public engagement and a podcast called Why Aren't You A Doctor Yet? Sam Illingworth is an Associate Professor at Edinburgh Napier University who investigates science and communication between disciplines. He is also a poet and writer, and has a podcast called The Poetry of Science. And Berry Billingsley is Professor in Science Education at Canterbury Christchurch University. Erstwhile science broadcaster, she looks at ways science education could be enhanced through building what her team call Epistemic Insight - transforming the nature of science education in society's younger members. Presented by Victoria Gill Produced by Alex Mansfield and Samara Linton

In this week's podcast Dr Oz Ismail talks with three dementia researchers who have made in their business to build supportive communities that celebrate and empower Black and minoritised scientists and dementia researchers. In the UK, around 7 per cent of undergraduate students are black, matching the percentage of black people aged 18 to 24. But the number plummets when you look at PhD students. For the past five years, the proportion of black PhD students at Russell Group universities – seen as the UK's most prestigious – has stagnated at around 2 per cent. The story is similar in the US, where African Americans make up nearly 13 per cent of the population, but win only 6.5 per cent of doctorates earned. Our guests discuss, what needs to be done, and what inspired them to act both personally and professional to support others from similar backgrounds – to follow their paths into science, and support them to remain. They go on to discuss just a few of the amazing resources and services are out there to support Black and minoritised researchers and scientists working in dementia and other diseases. Meet the guests... Dr Oz Ismail is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Mishra Lab, Oregon Health & Science University, USA. He studies the links between small stroke events and the onset of Alzheimer's pathology later in life. He also occasionally performs stand-up comedy, drawing upon his experiences as a millennial, immigrant, and scientist. Dr Yolanda Ohene, is a Biophysicist and Postdoctoral Research Associate at The University of Manchester. Yolanda is developing new MRI techniques to measure blood-brain barrier dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease. Her top tips for ECRs? Remember to write down as many details as possible in your lab book! She is also passionate about encouraging others from diverse cultural backgrounds to work in science. Victor Ekuta is a linQ Catalyst Fellow and MD Candidate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is researching Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers (he is also an awesome dancer: Hip hop, popping, and shuffling). In his spare time, he has led multiple outreach programs and neuroscience courses for underrepresented students – he is also a member of Black in Neuro. Caitlin Corona-Long is a PhD Student at Johns Hopkins University, researching structural, functional, and fluid biomarkers of amnestic mild cognitive impairment. As a first generation PhD student born to a Sierra Leonean father and an American mother, Caitlin has been involved in a number of programmes to support black scientists and to support and encourage improved diversity – she also happens to be related to two Presidents.

Oz Ismail went from being a research scientist taking pictures of bones, to a doctoral scientist, taking pictures of brains. He spent his PhD imaging as part of a project on Alzheimer’s disease. We talked to him about what’s known about the disease and the difficulties in treatment and diagnosis. We also talked about how along the way he’s performed stand-up, worked with friends to create the Minorities in STEM community, and how he himself is co-host of a science podcast called Why aren’t you a doctor yet? Thankfully, Oz now is Dr. Ismail and currently playing up his Britishness in Portland, OR.

In this episode we welcome back Oz Ismail (season 1 episode1) and Anna Ploszajski to talk about coming out via e-mail. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Part 2 of our UK Black Pride special. In this episode I chat to Oz Ismail about our experience of the UK Black Pride festival and all the things we loved about it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

To kick off season 2 we were joined by Oz Ismail (of Season 1, Episode 1 fame) at UK Black Pride where we interviewed attendees, activists and organisers. In part 1 you can hear their stories and thoughts about the festival. To learn more about UK Black Pride, check out their website here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to this week's podcast, hosted by Oz Ismail. Oz is joined by Dr David Steadman, Yolanda Ohene and Christina Toomey who are all based in labs at University College London. The lab can be a home from home given the amount of time you can end up spending there - a place where late nights and early mornings are dictated by your experiments. A place filled with incredible highs (when your experiments work) and horrendous lows (when the experiment you have toiled on for months for some reason doesn’t work). Today's panel are discussing life in the lab, what works for them, and how they transitions from classroom to lab. We might even touch on the superstitions our panellists have for ensuring lab success! To see profiles on all of our panellists, and to find more blogs and articles on lab work, and even lab jobs visit our website www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk If you would like to share your own experiences or discuss your research in a blog or on a podcast, drop us a line to adam.smith@nihr.ac.uk or find us on twitter @dem_researcher

A dark web expert, bat enthusiast and board game connoisseur, researcher & comedian Cerys Bradley is the gay gift that keeps on giving.

Research, the discovery of new knowledge, has been described as an endless frontier. There will certainly be instances during a PhD and beyond when curiosity driven activity can indeed seem vast and relentless. It is critical that researchers at whatever stage in their career develop the capacity and capability to generate an appropriate perspective on what they are facing. Put simply, and starkly, doing research depends on being well. As such, an awareness on health and wellbeing is central, and getting the right support is key. In this podcast Oz Ismail from UCL is joined by Géraldine Garrabet a Student Support and Welfare Officer, from the School of Physics & Astronomy at University of Manchester, Dr Caroline Selai a Senior Lecturer from the UCL Institute of Neurology and finally Kellie Morrissey a Research Fellow working at the Open Lab in Newcastle University.

We all have to deal with failure during our careers. But how do you handle it? In this podcast regular host Chris Hardy is joined by Charlotte Mykura from Swansea University, and Oz Ismail and Anna Volkmer both from University College London. Being a researcher can be incredibly rewarding. The potential to improve the lives of people with dementia, improve care, find new treatments or better understand the disease and its causes is amazing. However, a thick skin is useful. Dealing with rejection, and trying to not feel like an imposter are important things for us to learn. These are issues that come up time and time again, and not just during early careers, but even for the most senior of people. Failed experiments, rejected papers, unsuccessful grant applications are all part of the job, and event when we are successful we have to avoid feeling like impostors, and enjoy the success and the rewards. Finally, of course, we are using the term ‘failure’, however, we are know that failure is open to interpretation. Because we learn from our failures as much as we do successes.... can our panellists help?

This is the third and penultimate of our podcasts recorded on location at the Alzheimer Association International Conference (AAIC) in Chicago. Each day we will be bringing you news and information from our panellists who are all presenting and attending the world largest dementia conference. Adam Smith the Dementia Researcher website Programme Lead for the NIHR is again hosting and today is joined by Oz Ismail (aka Birthday Boy) and Yolanda Ohene both PhD Students at University College London and Isabel Castanho a PhD Student at Exeter University Medical School. The panel discuss their own presentations, and just how much the brain is like a fantastic water park. We also discuss their highlights from the third day here at the AAIC, including sessions on ‘Microbiome and the brain’ and the latest research on the impact of circadian rhythms. Oz and Isabel also share their experiences as ISTAART volunteers, whilst also encouraging others to consider supporting AAIC19. Tune in again tomorrow for day four, and our next panel.

In this episode we go to Pride with Oz Ismail (of Why Aren't You a Doctor Yet? fame) and talk to attendees at the parade about why they came to pride. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oz Ismail tells us about coming out to his sister over e-mail, distracting his mother with food to avoid marriage talk, and how small gestures can create have big impacts.Oz is a host of Why Aren't You A Doctor Yet? - a podcast exploring the diverse stories where science, tech and pop-culture meet.
