Pride Summer Panel #3: LGBTQ+ in Academia

Welcome back to My Fave Queer Chemist, y'all! This week, Bec & Geraldo share the recording of our third Pride Summer event, a Live Panel discussion about LGBTQ+ in Academia. We featured four incredible scientists doing great work in the fields of biology, chemistry, and neuroscience: Dr. Kaela Singleton (postdoctoral fellow at Emory University School of Medicine), Dr. Jennifer Nemhauser (Professor of Biology at University of Washington), Dr. Kelly Chacón (Associate Professor of Chemistry at Reed College), and Dr. Tehshik Yoon (Professor of Chemistry at University of Wisconsin). We also raised $400 for the Trans Lifeline, an organization that is working to advocate for and save the lives of transgender people of color in this country. Our Pride Summer FINALE will be Next Wednesday, July 14 which will feature the incredible Carolyn Bertozzi as our guest! This event will be benefitting Gender Spectrum so stay tuned, we’ll be tweeting more information about this in the next couple of days.
