Diversity

 

 

High impact science is produced in an environment that fosters creative problem solving and innovations. QBio creates such an environment by bringing together researchers with unique perspectives and backgrounds. We strongly believe that everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation, should be supported to succeed in science. Thus, we strive to make QBio an inclusive space for future generations of scientists, professors, and industry leaders and foster their growth academically, professionally, and personally. We encourage faculty, students and postdocs in QBio to participate in campus organizations that support the growth of under-represented minorities in STEM. In addition, we also inspire future generations of scientists (K-12 students) in the New Haven area via science outreach initiatives.

Many QBio members participate in diversity and inclusion in K-12, undergraduate, and graduate STEM education efforts through their involvement in programs such as Exploring Science/Yale Open Labs, the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), the Yale BBS Diversity and Inclusion Collective (YBDIC), the Yale Physical and Engineering Biology (PEB) summer program, Yale National Initiative, and the STEM Program Evaluation and Research Lab.
