Navigating the Academic and Research Landscape as an Autistic Physicist

20th November 2024, 12:30 – 1:30 pm

In this talk, we’ll hear from experimental quantum physicist turned science communicator,  Daisy Shearer, as they explore their personal journey in the lab and beyond as an autistic professional.

Daisy will discuss their contribution to the book ‘Uncharted: How Scientists Navigate Their Own Health, Research, and Experiences of Bias’ and the broader experience of autistic individuals in academia and research.

This is a unique opportunity for both neurodiverse and neurotypical audiences to gain a deeper understanding of life on the spectrum from a first-hand perspective.

This talk is brought to you by the members of The Rosie Project – a Harwell-based neurodiversity networking group. We aim to share best practice to enable neurodiverse teams to thrive in the workplace. We’re open to anyone with an interest, whether or not you identify as neurodiverse.

The Rosie Project is open to everyone who has an interest in getting the best from their neurodivergent teams. We welcome neurotypicals and the inquisitive.
