- Abstract
The article titled "Neurodiversity: An Important Axis of Diversity in Ocean Sciences" explores the concept of neurodiversity and its relevance in the field of ocean sciences. Neurodiversity refers to variations in the human brain that affect information processing, including conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. The article highlights the challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals in oceanography, particularly in seagoing fieldwork, and emphasizes the importance of creating a well-supported environment that accommodates their specific needs. It also discusses the intersectional challenges posed by neurodiversity, including cultural differences and attitudes towards seeking help. The authors advocate for embracing and enabling neurodiverse individuals to enhance interdisciplinary and international research in ocean sciences.
