Providing Access to Scientific and Research Knowledge - A conversation with Anja Harrison
Description
Anja Harrison, PhD Dipl.-Psych is a Lecturer and Applied Neuroscience Programme lead at King's College London, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and CEO at The Collaborative Library - an online platform dedicated to bringing scientific knowledge to the masses by providing a space for people to share plain language summaries of research articles.
Anja’s background and research training are at the interface of psychology and biology. For the past 10 years Anja has mentored and supervised students ranging from BSc to MSc and PhD level, working closely with student disability services. In her view, keys to success in this context are partnership, equity, accountability and ownership.
Her main career interest is to utilize her passion for interdisciplinary research, teaching and mentoring to attract, excite and train the next generation of scientists and professionals as well as contribute to knowledge equity.
Anja joins Jo on this episode to talk about her project, The Collaborative Library and how it addresses access barriers to scientific information and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration. She also highlights the initiative’s goal of providing tools for both students and professionals to engage with and summarize research for broader public understanding.
