I'm really happy to share that this year I'm helping the graduate division of oSTEM at UCSD to organize SQUAD, a series of online seminars that highlight the research and experiences of queer scientist! ๐๐งโ๐ฌ By sharing these stories and journeys we hope to build community and showcase examples of how LGBTQ+ individuals persevere and thrive in their respective fields.
๐๏ธThe inaugural talk of this year's cycle is next Monday Jan 29th at 4pm PT: "Tiny green algae and a rainbow community" by
Maria Hamilton, postdoc at the University of Georgia ๐ฆ
If you want to attend you can find the zoom link and information on future talks on our website! http://gradostem.ucsd.edu/events/squad
There are also recordings of some of the past talks! #diversity #inclusion #academia #STEM ๐๐ฌ
