Dr Sarune: Thinking in Layers
Over on Thinking in Layers, I write a blog where I explore the intersections of neurodiversity, immersive technology, creativity, and the academic experience. It’s a space for reflection, research insights, and occasional creative musings on perception, culture, and what it means to make sense of the world as both a scientist and a storyteller.
"The truth is: change that matters will be disruptive. It has to be. If we want to talk about social justice with integrity, we must be willing to risk our safety nets - reputation, funding, approval, even belonging. That’s terrifying. But following rigid rules to challenge injustice is like writing protest slogans in invisible ink. Real transformation doesn’t happen in the margins of the system"
Mind Over Matter
While previous blog explores research, culture, and neurodiversity through a reflective and analytical lens, this blog offers a more personal, unfiltered look into my inner world. It’s a public diary - an honest, poetic space where I write about identity, memory, imagination, and the quiet moments that shape a life. These entries are less curated and more intuitive, often written in one sitting, capturing thoughts as they come.
​
If Thinking in Layers is where I make sense of the world, Mind over Matter is where I make sense of myself.
"Compromise when it matters—but never forget who you are.
Your daydreams are not distractions.
They are the core of you.
They’re what have shaped you.
They are what make you whole.
Never regret"
From "Frangas, non flectes"
