This week on The Other Kind of Doctor, @tealescope.bsky.social is joined by a rather unusual co-host: Microsoft Co-Pilot 🤖 Will AI make a decent stand-in for a human co-host? And what does our guest, @tylershores.bsky.social (researcher of digital wellbeing and productivity) think about all of this?

This was a fun episode to record with Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Postgraduate Research) @dawnwatling.bsky.social. Somehow we managed to laugh about PhD funding and how her title just isn't long enough...
Funding is one of the biggest concerns (& challenges) for anyone currently doing (or thinking about) a PhD. Working out what might be available & navigating how to apply for funding can feel like learning an entirely new language. open.spotify.com/episode/14up...

Coming soon: we'll be talking about one of the biggest concerns for PhDs: funding. We're delighted to be speaking to @dawnwatling.bsky.social (Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor & Prof of Psychology at Royal Holloway) to talk about UKRI funding.
