Real people, real science, real neurodiversity, real experiences. Join neurodivergent evolutionary biologist & science communicator Dr Chris Freelance in conversation with his fellow neurodivergent STEMM professionals about their science, their strengths & challenges, and their lived experiences. With the rate of neurodivergence up to 2.5x higher in science professionals than in the general population, it’s time to connect with this large in number but largely unseen community of neurodiverse knowledge-makers.

Episode 7: Stem cell biologist Jordan Clarke: “without ADHD, I wouldn’t have gotten where I am”

What do cosplay and research science have in common?

This episode, host Dr Chris is joined by PhD candidate Jordan Clarke from The University of Melbourne. Tune in to hear about Jordan’s research bringing stem cell biology to the study of neuropsychiatric disorder, her experience of neurodiversity-friendly work practices in STEMM, and how aspects of her ADHD have made her a successful scientist. (And with her and Chris’ offices just a few doors apart, there’s plenty of banter and laughs!)

This is the last of the episodes made during ADHD Awareness Month 2025, and the second-last episode of season 1.
