In Episode 7, Dr. Dionna Williams, a neuroscientist working on HIV at Emory University School of Medicine (US), will share “A Journey of Self-Awareness towards Understanding Disability.” Dionna
will reflect on their experience navigating academia while living with multiple disabilities, and discuss how self-awareness became a path toward advocacy, inclusion, and accessible neuroscience training.
