    Not a Deficit, But a Difference: Reframing Neurodiversity in Academia

    This episode explores the lived experiences of neurodivergent researchers in academia, from autism to ADHD. Through candid conversations with scientists at different career stages, we uncover both the challenges they face in traditional academic environments and the unique strengths they bring to scientific discovery. Our guests share practical strategies for supporting neurodiversity in research settings while advocating for systemic changes that could transform academia into a more inclusive space where different thinking styles are not just accommodated but celebrated as essential to innovation. https://www.neurodiversityweek.com/ Amit Meir Ben Efraim Marina Kugler Vanessa Herder

    CVR Meets NEREA IRIGOYEN: Ribosomal profiling, transitioning to independence and supporting Spanish researchers

    Spanish virologist Nerea Irigoyen provides an inside look at her career with PhD students from the Castello Lab, Natasha Palmalux and Rozeena Arif. Nerea details her pioneering work using ribosomal profiling to uncover the complexities of viral gene expression, as well as her experiences transitioning to an independent group leader role. Irigoyen also shares valuable guidance for early career researchers, especially those from Spain seeking to establish themselves internationally, and she stresses the benefits of diverse lab experiences and the need to develop resilience against online criticism. 🔗 Links Learn more about Nerea Irigoyen: https://www.bio.cam.ac.uk/staff/nerea-irigoyen Find out more about the CVR: https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/cvr/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CVRinfo Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cvrinfo/ Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mrc-uofg-cvr
