E1: Distractions & Dissertations

In this episode of Inclu(sci)vity: Breaking Barriers in STEM, Opal talks with Thomas Murphy, a PhD candidate at University of Washington, about his experience with ADHD and how he navigates academia as a neurodivergent person. We cover the difficulties Thomas faces in lab, the strategies he uses, and how the scientific community can best support neurodivergent scientists.
