It gives voice to common experiences that are frequently overlooked or left unspoken. These deeply personal accounts describe not only health challenges but also the joys, sorrows, humor, and wonder of science and scientists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a breadth of perspectives on being disabled or chronically ill, these stories highlight the intersectionality of minoritized identities with the disability community. \u003ci\u003eUncharted\u003c\/i\u003e features essays by contributors who are d\/Deaf, blind, neurodivergent, wheelchair users, have experienced traumatic brain injuries, have blood sugar disorders, have rare medical diagnoses, or have received psychiatric diagnoses, among many others. In many cases, the scientific field is not fully accessible to them, and they frankly describe struggling as well as thriving alongside their conditions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book serves as representation for scientists who have never felt comfortable disclosing their disability or who have never felt fully understood. The stories shared in this book seek to normalize medical conditions and disabilities in scientific culture, offering recommendations for how and why to improve access. \u003ci\u003eUncharted\u003c\/i\u003e is vital and compelling reading for current and aspiring scientists who want to make their fields more inclusive and supportive for everyone.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkylar Bayer is a marine ecologist and science communicator.
