The Other Kind of Doctor Podcast
@tokodofficial.bsky.social
A podcast for the other kind of doctors (aka PGRs, ECRs & academics) hosted by Royal Holloway PhD researchers. Available to stream wherever you listen to pods!
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?

We're very excited about our next episode dedicated to digital wellbeing! @tealescope.bsky.social will be speaking with @tylershores.bsky.social, who is the Director of @thinklab.bsky.social, University of Cambridge. Out tomorrow at 8am wherever you get your podcasts from 💙

We interview academics, experts and other PhD candidates, all in an attempt to procrastinate from our own research.

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.

We're so excited about our next episode! We have a very special guest & lots of useful information about funding, grant applications & the UKRI. We also have some very important thoughts about... crisps! 🥔 A question for you while we edit this latest episode: what flavour are these crisps?
