About

Our vision

Adventures in Research started life as a discussion between two nursing educators (Amelia and Bronwyn) about how we can help our student nurses to learn about research in a way that didn’t out them off for life. In fact, we were searching for a way to get people inspired by research. So we looked for a way to bring the research to life, and to explain the terminology and principles as we went along. And so the podcast was born.
