Episode 4: Neuroscientist Steph Olliff: "a career indulging my Autistic special interest topic"

Many people with Autism have special interest topics, but what's it like for an Autistic neuroscientist whose special interest is neuroscience?

Join our host Dr Chris Freelance in conversation with neuroscientist Steph Olliff about her research using brain-infecting viruses to find new treatments for neurodegenerative disease, the struggle to 'switch off' when your work is one of your Autistic special interest topics, re-framing how people view the spectrum and functioning labels, and making neurodiverse-friendly environments to support STEMM professionals to be their best.
