I think leaders in the brain science community should lead efforts to include everyone. We need embrace all kinds of people because brain science does best when it has lots of different minds working on challenges together! People with different physical or mental traits, whether that features make things hard for them or help them , are really important for making the science world more interesting. I see this not only in this scientist's story 9which is amazing and inspiring), but in my own family too. My sister is an amazing doctor, despite having one-sided deafness, which she got as an adult. It was tough for her to deal with this new way of hearing, and it changed how she sees the world. But she had to adapt, and it also brought out new talents in her, making her better at her job. As a doctor, she got better at feeling things, seeing things, analizing patient's anatomy, all very important skills for her work. So, even though she was great before she lost her hearing, now she's even better. I admire her for inspiring her students and other doctors. And as an impaired hearing surgeon, she got really interested in brain science and I tease her that she is an honorary neuroscientist. I believe that it's our job to help people to adapt, embrace and live tho the fullest.
