"𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐲, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐭." What insightful, fruitful discussions we had at our 1st EDI panel event this afternoon!

Our panelists discussed the obstacles they faced during their studies, what key areas in the higher education industry need to be re-evaluated to be more EDI-positive, and how can orgs be further educated to translate their strategic plans to actions.

Thank you to our awesome panelists, Balarama Holness, Cristian Zaelzer, Ph.D., and Diane Dechief, Ph.D. Special thanks to our co-moderator, Kaitlyn Easson from GSAN.

We also had Dr. Orlowski from the Dept. of Physiology discuss the 5Ws of his research - the 'who, what, when, where, and why' 🔍

Day 2 of our Open House featured Dr. Alanna Watt and her trainees, Kim G. and Eviatar F., introduce us to their research on the cerebellum aka the "little brain." 🧠 Thank you to everyone who asked such interesting questions about their research, lab, and grad life!
