🌟 **BIBU Conference Recap: My Perspective 🌟** What a day it's been! From engaging icebreakers to thought-provoking workshops and an incredible panel discussion, the BIBU Conference was truly inspiring. Here's a glimpse of what resonated with me: 🎓 **Celebrating Milestones:** It felt empowering to start the day with a collective acknowledgment of our achievements, regardless of where we are in our educational or professional journey. It reminded me of the importance of recognizing our progress. 💡 **Insights from Dr. Bernadine Idowu-Onibokun PhD, PFHEA, MRSB :** Dr. Idowu's address struck a chord with me. The issues she highlighted regarding representation in Biomedical Science hit close to home. Feeling like you don't belong because of a lack of diversity in your field is a sentiment many of us share. 🎯 **Purposeful Networking:** The conference's aim to inspire and build a network within the Black community in Biomedical Science really stood out to me. It's not just about individual success but about lifting each other up and creating opportunities for collaboration and growth. 🔊 **Powerful Presentations:** Each speaker brought a unique perspective to the table. From discussions on race equity in academia to exploring career pathways, every presentation left me feeling motivated and eager to make a difference. 📚 **Access to Resources:** I appreciate the organizers providing access to the speakers' PowerPoint slides. Having these resources at my disposal ensures that the learning doesn't stop with the conference but continues as I delve deeper into these topics. Attending the BIBU Conference was not just about gaining knowledge; it was about feeling seen, heard, and empowered to drive change in the field of Biomedical Science. Can't wait to see where this journey takes us next! 🚀 #BIBUConferenceRecap #EmpoweredAttendee

Diversifying the scientific and medical workforce is linked to better healthcare access and outcomes for people of color. But in 2021, just 5% of doctoral degrees in STEM were awarded to Black candidates and just 8% to Latinx candidates. Changing this will require us all to challenge the status quo and shift our biased perceptions of which institutions can produce PhD talent and which students are capable of earning doctoral degrees. Read about our unique approach to diversifying the future healthcare workforce and see how the Genentech Foundation's recent $14M grant to San Francisco State University is helping equip students with the resources to succeed: http://spkl.io/60414fE7V?

Georgia Tech jumped up three rankings in national research and development expenditures to No. 17 (from No. 20) and is the top public university without a medical school in a new National Science Foundation (NSF) Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey. The annual survey compiles R&D expenditure data from U.S. colleges and universities with more than $150,000 in research expenditures during a fiscal year. For fiscal year 2022 (July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022), that included more than 900 institutions. The HERD Survey is the primary source of information on research and development expenditures at U.S. colleges and universities.   “This remarkable achievement reflects the hard work and creativity of our outstanding faculty, students, staff, and partners who continually strive to advance research that improves the human condition. We are proud to be in the company of this distinguished list of institutions that work to address the world’s most pressing challenges.” – Chaouki Abdallah https://lnkd.in/eSSTkrMA

On the Path to Disability-Inclusive Workplaces—my latest article for AWIS Magazine! The four women featured are at the forefront of efforts to make scientific workplaces disability-inclusive. Find the article at the link below: https://lnkd.in/g7UrZwmi To paraphrase some of their advice: - Know you are worthy. You do have a voice. People deserve to listen to it, and people are better for having listened to it. - Understand and accept your limitations, but also recognize they don't define you, and you can still chase your dreams.  - Seek and build a supportive community—acknowledging it may take time and effort to find the right match. - Ensure your employer is ready, willing, and encouraging about whatever support is needed for employees with disabilities. - Make leaders aware of the contributions of people with disabilities.

At our #POD2023 roundtable session "Reimagining Mentoring: Sharing Approaches to Mentorship for New Faculty" we had the opportunity to share insights from the Peer Network program for faculty new to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach and start conversations about the role teaching centers can play in starting, supporting, and supplementing mentoring programs at our institutions. We hope to continue these conversations! If you missed the session but are interested in being part of the conversations, you can let us know here: bit.ly/MentoringJoin 

Somesay Julius Richard Petri comprehended it best: it truly does not take a multi million $ Petri dish to grow the tiniest micro effort to impact at macro scale...it takes the Petri dish to prevent the micro from adversely affecting the community around it. In our Husky Alumni International Community...at large...we encourage, collaborate, bootstrap, share, scrimp and save each in our own microcosm of living ...while making what valiant efforts we may each make to better our Commonwealth's Communities despite the shadows cast upon our individual and collective efforts by would be Luminaries, and Dignitaries. A recent Aug./Sept. 2023 sound bite by Boston's Mayor Wu it could be heard '... that a great percentage of Boston's housing stock, and built structures are in need of better Energy efficiency AND compliance...' Not to be understated are prohibitive permit review processes disallowing and acting to prohibit City, and I would assert Commonwealth, and, our Nations Citizen property owners from the freedom to improve their failing, aging home's Energy Efficiency and Compliance. We know how to make large scale developers $ by the likes of 'post Katrina Go Zoning.' Time is now D.O.E. for Programs of Go Efficiency& Compliance.
