</span>The mission of the Coffee and Conversations series is to foster an inclusive workshop-like environment where members of the MIT Biology community will participate in conversations on gender, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status,
and more. For this meeting, please read our attached community guidelines and the following materials on
