NEUROART with Bethan, Keshvi & Shaakir

August 30, 2024 • The Academinist • Season 1 • Episode 32

What happens when art, neuroscience and neurodiversity meet? Sounds like the set up for a bad punchline, but this month Rebecca chats to the brilliant team behind NEUROART to find out exactly that! Bethan Burnside, Keshvi Shah and Dr. Shaakir Salam are a multi-talented team coming from different backgrounds of science communication, research and research funding management. They tell us the story behind the NEUROART exhibition held at the Science Gallery (London, UK) earlier this year, and among many other things we also discuss team-work, science communication, and what researchers can do better to support & include neurodivergent people!
