Have The Nerve: A Podcast About Disability
Episode 44: What It Is Like To Be A Researcher In Spinal Cord Injury?
Getting research off the ground is probably more complex than you'd expect.
Doctor Claire Boswell-Ruys is a physiotherapist and senior research fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) and has worked in the area of spinal cord injuries for the past 20 years.
We talk about all things research, we discuss what it takes to set up a research trial, how it's funded, why it can't be everywhere and why medical research in Australia for people with spinal cord injuries may be different from overseas research.
