      abstract = {How to excel in your doctoral viva offers an accessible  guide to approaching and preparing for a PhD viva  examination. The book explains what the viva is, how the  process works, and what the purpose of the viva is. It  guides the reader through the course of preparing for their  viva examination, with chapters focusing on organisation to  dealing with viva concerns. Contributions from over 25  academics ranging from critical care to theology provide a  unique insight into the experiences of PhD candidates and  examiners, and make this book an invaluable resource for  students completing PhDs across the sciences. Dr. Stacey  Bedwell was awarded her PhD in Biosciences in 2015 from  Nottingham Trent University, UK, for her work investigating  the anatomical connectivity of the mammalian prefrontal  cortex. Stacey completed postdoctoral projects in  neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. Her current research  focus is exploring the roles of early experiences in the  development of executive functions. Stacey has taught at  undergraduate and postgraduate levels in psychology and  neuroscience for several years and has published in many  internationally recognised journals. Dr. Isabelle Butcher  was awarded her PhD in Psychology in 2021 from the  University of Manchester, UK, for her work on the negative  symptoms of schizophrenia and traumatic life events.  Isabelles current research interests are in the area of  adolescent mental health and the impact of traumatic life  events. Isabelle also has a keen interest in the ethics of  research and is currently chair of an NHS ethics research  committee.},
