December is a crucial time for all students writing a dissertation, with ethical approval applications submitted and beginning to recruit for studies. It's also a time when students might be thinking about what the future holds for their career. In this episode, Lucy is joined by 2 dietitians, Natasha Schoeler and Jennifer Towey, who are both currently involved in dietetic research, specialising in ketogenic diets and liver transplantation respectively. We will discuss what the role of a research dietitian looks like, the importance of dietitians working in research, and how your dissertation can be the first step into this career path.Show Notes:Natasha Twitter: @natashaschoeler and @KDRN_online and https://iris.ucl.ac.uk/iris/browse/profile?upi=NEPAY91Jennifer Twitter: @liver_dietitian
