Bethany Facer
Bethany Facer is currently completing her PhD at the University of Liverpool, where she’s exploring structural brain changes in people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, using neuroimaging. Alongside her research, she’s passionate about making neuroscience accessible and creating better opportunities for students and early-career researchers to get involved, be heard, and feel supported.
She has developed and delivered public engagement initiatives for ECRs, such as science-comedy nights, and regularly contributes to science podcasts and outreach events. As Early Career & Student Trustee, Beth is keen to strengthen opportunities for ECRs across the UK, helping to make neuroscience more inclusive, visible, and connected.
