People with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM fields, and all too often, they face isolation and ableism in academia.

​

Uncharted is a collection of powerful first-person stories by current and former scientists with disabilities or chronic conditions. They have faced changes in their careers, including both successes and challenges, because of their health.
​

This collection 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.

​

Uncharted is vital and compelling reading for current and aspiring scientists who want to make their fields more inclusive and supportive for everyone.
