Science and Society Series

This lecture series is designed to help educate and inform department members about the current and historical intersections of race, gender, and class with scientific research. Specifically, we are interested in exploring this area in terms of how scientific research is conducted, how choices are made about where research efforts and funds are directed, and who benefits from research.  Attendance is required for first-year PhD students and is open to all in the biology community.

All talks organized by Hallie Dowling-Francisco, Community and Professional Support Specialist, and Brady Weissbourd, Yadira Soto-Feliciano, Alison Ringel and Mary Gehring
