Our #antiracism discussion group wrapped up this week! Thanks to everyone who joined us to discuss Superior: The Return of Race Science by Angela Saini.

Encouraging a sense of belonging among underrepresented students is key to their success in STEM fields (opinion) insidehighered.com/views/2020/09/…

Thoughts on how applying to grad school in the sciences is gatekeeping at its finest: 1) Why are grad school apps so expensive? ~$100 per app! Who can afford this as an undergrad/post-grad student. Imagine applying to 10 programs, that's 1k (excluding GRE/TOEFL costs)! /1

Join us TODAY at 3:30 for "Tools for Promoting Diversity & Inclusivity in Biology Classrooms," a seminar given by @biodiversifying! Zoom link here: tinyurl.com/yyw2uefz.

Yesterday's retreat: our committee discussed inclusion, diversity, equity, and antiracism topics close to our hearts. We also had a show-and-tell to get to know each other more deeply over Dame's Chicken & Waffles. How nourishing!

Shout out to Ray L. Allen, PhD (@rayallen.bsky.social)! His work and leadership within Duke Biology IDEA Committee has been invaluable!
