Would you like to help make UGA Life Sciences more diverse and inclusive? The Advocates for Anti-racism in the Life Sciences at the University of Georgia would like to invite you to participate in the UGA Life Sciences Climate Survey. Link to survey in bio! A thread about it🧵

Undergraduate & graduate students please take this climate survey so Advocates for anti-racism in life sciences at UGA can identify barriers that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPoC) face while pursuing a degree at #UGA #RepresentationMatters

The best part of the HHMI Gilliam Award, is that my advisor Douda Bensasson and I get funding for #DiversityandInclusion activities. With the help of @justine_valadez we created a Diversify #STEM Coffee Hour to create a safe place for grad students from historically excluded groups.

Mark your calendars! #BlackInEnvironment week is upon us!
