Hangout: Increasing Participation in Research & Careers
We contributed to a discussion on the participation of underrepresented populations in research studies and academic careers (#MoreInvolved). These #IsisVsTomasson Hangouts are led by Michael Tomasson (@MTomasson) and “Isis Morena” (pseudonym @DrIsis).
Speaking at Annual IRACDA Postdoctoral Conference
We’re presenting at the annual IRACDA Postdoctoral Conference hosted by Emory University and the Atlanta University Center (June 2 to 4). Dr. Alberto Roca is speaking on the topic — Connecting IRACDA Fellows to Academic Diversity Stakeholders: Who are Your Institutional Champions? The conference brings together administrators, mentors, and postdocs from institutions funded by the NIH training grant program called Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA). The programs combine a traditional supervised postdoctoral research experience with an opportunity to develop teaching skills through mentored assignments at a minority-serving institution. We will be micro-reporting the event with Tweets labeled #IRACDA2013.

National Survey of Sexual Diversity in STEM
If you’re lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trans, have at least a Bachelor’s or technical degree, and are currently working in a STEM field in any capacity — from grad school to tenure-track faculty to corporate R&D to government employees to teachers — then please participate in this survey. This research is being conducted by Jeremy Yoder (Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Plant Biology at the University of Minnesota) and Allison Mattheis (new faculty member in the College of Education at California State University, Los Angeles). As queer academics, they’re interested in understanding and improving the climate for LGBTQ professional, faculty, staff, and students in STEM. Also, please help spread the word by sharing the short link http://bit.ly/queerSTEM along with the hashtag #QueerSTEM.
