Welcome to the NEUROVERSE

Working at the intersection of Neurodiversity and Space Science.

The Neuroverse Initiative logo. This logo is a equilateral triangle, similar to the patch of a space mission, outlined in a deep purple with the words 'THE NEUROVERSE INITIAITVE' at the bottom all in white, and white text on the left hand edge of the triangle saying 'EST.' and again on the right saying '2023'. Inside of the purple triangle is an off-white background dotted with light pink dots, and one large pink filled circle almost in the center of the triangle, but slightly higher. In the very center of the triangle, over the top of the pink dot, is a large black etched drawing of a side-view of the brain, where the back of the brain is facing towards the left.

At The Neuroverse Initiative, we are committed to advancing neuroinclusion in Space Science through Training, Research, and Advocacy. We believe that the Space Sciences should be accessible to all and that a diversity of minds will only accelerate our discovery and understanding of the Universe.

THE WHY

A dark pink-purple square with an off-white text saying "Neurodivergent individuals are 2X more likely to be unemployed. [U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, 2020]". The text is centered with the "2X' part twice as big as the rest of the text.
A black square with off-white text reading "Employment amongst autistic individuals is as low as 14% in some studies [ROUX, 2017]." The text is centered, with the "14%" is twice as large as the rest of the text.
A dark purple box with off-white text reading "15-20% of people in the U.S. are neurodivergent [DOYLE, 2020]." The text is centered with the "15-20%" is twice as large as the rest of the text.
A black box with off-white text saying "The U.S. has 5,582 Space Science companies. Half of the global total [FORBES, 2021]." The text is centered with the "5,582" twice as big as the rest of the text.
A dark purple square box with an off-white text that reads "Space Science jobs pay, on avrage, $26K more than the national average $86,000 [ZIP RECRUITER] VS. $59,000 [U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS]". The text is centered with the "$26K" text being twice as large as the rest.
A pink-purple square box with off white text that says "The Space Science industry is expected to grow 40% in the next 5 years [THE SPACE REPORT, 2023]". The text is centered with the "41%" text twice as big as the other text.
