Participate in a comprehensive training session focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in science and advocacy. Gain in-depth knowledge about DEI issues in the scientific community, explore the importance of minority representation, and understand the current STEM shortage. Learn about the significance of legislative action in promoting DEI and examine three federal bills aimed at addressing these concerns. Discover the components of effective advocacy and how to formulate impactful requests to legislators.
