While the effects of last week’s devastating news continue to wash over the US and beyond, we still want to celebrate #pride and give visibility to #LGBTQInSTEM. So today’s highlight is by guest artist Aedan Gardill (@aedansarchive) of the fabulous @schuylerborges! Schuyler Borges is a graduate student at the University of Northern Arizona, where they have pioneered their own astrobiology research by collaborating with professors in various departments (biology, astronomy, geology) and colleagues from other universities around the world.  Their research focuses on studying cyanobacteria in Antarctica to understand the type of life we could find on exoplanets. By measuring the spectral signature of different bacterial communities in a (for most of the year) Antarctic dried up stream bed. Using this spectral information, these bacterial communities in the stream beds can be remotely detected using satellite imaging. In the future, when more powerful telescopes are available, this information can be used to detect bacteria living on distant planets.   Outside of academia, Schuyler passionately works with THRIVE Lifeline (@thrivelifeline), a crisis hotline dedicated to helping those with marginalized identities in STEM with mental health crises. Identifying as non-binary themselves, they want to make sure their peers with marginalized identities have the support they need in academia. Thank you for being you @schuylerborges! #PrideInSTEM #OutInSTEM #LGBTQinSTEM #Pride #astrobiology #antarctica #cyanobacteria #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CfUoM5uOkh_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For #PrideMonth, JKX Comics honors the remarkable work of Dr. Walter Westman, an expert in the fields of ecology, biogeography, and environmental policy. Along with his research, Dr. Westman was an activist for LGBTQ rights within the sciences.   Dr. Westman early research focused on the California coastal sage scrub where he studied the biogeography, ecology, and the impact of climate change on the flora. He published his work in multiple articles and books which contributed to policy change.   Beyond research, Dr. Westman was an advocate for LGBTQ rights and spoke out about the homophobia arising within the scientific community.  He founded the National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists (now known as Out to Innovate).   Dr. Westman is an inspirational scientist who has altered our view on plant ecology and was an early proponent for a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable space in science. Thank you Dr. Walter Westman for your amazing work inside and outside of science.   #LGBTinSTEM #PrideinSTEM #OutinSTEM https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1QDiRuknD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

LGBTQ+ History Month talk on being out in STEM!

Hi all! As a part of our LGBTQ+ History Month activities, we will be having a talk on being out in the STEM fields by Charlotte McCarroll. Charlotte is a cardiovascular scientist, trained vet and transwoman working in Glasgow. This is set to be a very insightful talk uni being oSTEM, so not one to be missed!
