A year in orbit: ISS deployment tests radiation detectors for future space missions
The predawn darkness on a cool Florida night was shattered by the ignition of nine Merlin engines on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The thrust of the engines shook the ground miles away. From a distance, the rocket appeared to slowly rise above the horizon. For the cargo onboard, the launch was anything but gentle, as the ignition of liquid oxygen generated more than 1.5 million pounds of force. After the rocket had been out of sight for several minutes, the booster dramatically returned to Earth with several sonic booms in a captivating show of engineering designed to make space travel less expensive and more sustainable.

For many neurodivergent professionals, burnout isn't just about workload, it’s the logical outcome of navigating a world designed for neurotypical people. This workshop reframes burnout through a neuro-affirming lens in order to accurately identify root causes, including sensory overwhelm and masking. Participants will learn to identify early warning signs and develop personalized strategies to protect their energy. We will conclude by looking beyond individual "self-care" to the systemic changes—such as flexible scheduling and sensory-friendly environments—that create a healthier, more sustainable workplace for every employee.
