Description

Real people, real science, real neurodiversity, real experiences. Join neurodivergent evolutionary biologist & science communicator Dr Chris Freelance in conversation with his fellow neurodivergent STEMM professionals about their science, their strengths & challenges, and their lived experiences. With the rate of neurodivergence up to 2.5x higher in science professionals than in the general population, it’s time to connect with this large in number but largely unseen community of neurodiverse knowledge-makers.
