In this episode of Synaptic Justice, we sit down with neuroscientist, advocate, and program specialist Dr. Termara Parker to explore how systemic racism and technological bias show up in neuroimaging research, and what it takes to dismantle them. Dr. Parker shares her journey into neuroscience, sparked by a high school research project and a deep personal connection to autism through her younger sister. Dr. Parker’s work challenges the foundations of who is seen, included, and supported in brain research, and makes a powerful case for change.
