Rad Chat

Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara catch up with Hannah Bargh-Dawson as part of Education and Workforce Development series (part 51).

Discussion about Hannah’s career, PhD research and the potential of using ultrasound to stimulate microbubbles for radio-sensitisation in preclinical research.
 
To use this podcast as CPD, look at these reflection points: 
1) consider the possibilities and limitations of microbubbles in radio-sensitisation.
2) reflect on who you look to for mentorship for your development.
3) consider how you can learn from your failures in your practice.
