Description
Join us for a special panel discussion about the intersection of neurodivergence and entomology. Speakers in various stages of their careers will describe not just the challenges they have faced as neurodivergent individuals, but also the unique skills and interests they possess because of their neurodivergence. Speakers will discuss their experiences living with a variety of neurodivergent conditions including dyslexia, autism, ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, and CPTSD. Panelists will speak about their lived realities and participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and contribute to the conversation. This program is intended for anyone interested in learning more about neurodivergence, regardless of their interest in entomology. Free and open to the public.

Attendees are encouraged to read Why Neurodiversity and Entomology So Often Go Together, written by panelist Dr. Alice Laciny.
