Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Reading Group:
Isabela Borges, Heather Eisthen, Mariah Meek, and I are co-leading a department-wide reading group focusing on readings related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in science. If you're interested in joining, please email IBIODEIREAD-request@LIST.MSU.EDU to be added to the list. If you'd like to follow along, I'll be posting the readings we're doing here. Also, If you have suggestions for things we should be reading, please send them along!
**The reading group is on hiatus for Summer 2021, and will be picking back up Fall Semester 2021.**
