Welcome to season 3 of Probably Platelets, the first-ever podcast hosted by the UK Platelet Society. Your hosts, Alex, research fellow from the University of Birmingham and Xenia, post-doctoral researcher from the University of Birmingham, have a chat with platelets researchers to find out more about their career journey, laugh about some of their mistakes, and you never know, we'll probably talk about platelets.

In this episode we're thrilled to have Dr Amanda Unsworth from the University of Leeds. Amanda has been a dedicated platelet researcher for over 15 years, and is also serving as the current president of the platelet society. In this episode Amanda discusses her research journey as well as her time as president of the platelet society. We discuss the importance of the society, and we encourage as many people as possible to provide their thoughts and input to further shape the direction of the society.

This episode was recorded in August 2025. We want to give a massive thanks to Amanda with providing us her time during this episode.
