Natalie Fini - Physical Activity after Stroke, Academic & Neuro leadership
Nat Fini is our first returning guest having previously given us an update of supports from the Australian Physio Association (APA) at the start of the pandemic. We chat about Nat's transition from clinical neuro lead into academia alongside completing her PhD in physical activity (PA) and exercise after stroke. She shares her inspirations, how she over-achieves at networking (spoiler, she's naturally good at it), and her leadership work in the APA and other advocacy groups.0.09 - Previous episode recap2.05 - Bio3.23 - Intro4.17 - Current role at UoM & affiliations5.12 - Career pathway11.56 - Getting into academia13.59 - Staying relevant in clinical work14.36 - PhD exercise and PA after stroke18.57 - How to get stroke survivors active21.19 - Overcoming barriers to PA after stroke22.27 - Behaviour change strategies & long term planning24.48 - PhD publications & beyond26.00 - New research questions - what's the right dosage?27.10 - Mentors - a range is helpful32.07 - APA work35.56 - Getting involved & managing commitments38.57 - Networking on social media
