Research with children: how to rehabilitate the misconception of the "mad scientist"

Summary: Welcome to the new ADC Spotlight podcast! We'll be covering areas that don’t usually get much attention or might be taken for granted with the goal of promoting dialogue. In this first podcast, Rachel Agbeko, Associate Editor of Archives of Disease in Childhood, is joined by Jennifer Preston, Senior Patient and Public Involvement Manager at the University of Liverpool, Hugh Davies, Paediatrician and Research Ethics Advisor at the Health Research Authority and Bob Phillips, Paediatric Oncologist and Social Media and Archimedes Editor for ADC.
