Heading north today to avoid weekend train strikes & ensure I'm in Newcastle ready for my talk in the EDI session of the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium.

I'll be sharing insights into setting up & running a network to improve inclusion of #LGBTQ+ folks in STEM

By encouraging students to explore and celebrate the achievements of LGBTQIA+ professionals in STEMM, we hope to foster a more diverse and representative narrative in these disciplines. Find out more at our website: prismexeter.com/qsc

Why a queer science competition? Evidence suggests that LGBTQ+ students are less likely to be retained within STEMM fields. Their voices and contributions are being lost. We want to celebrate those in the field, showing these students that they matter.
