PRISM Exeter's Speakers series returns for International Day of LGBTQIA+ people in STEM 2024 with talks from Dr Orly Razgour and Joe Pady.
They will talk about their experiences in STEMM* as members of the LGBTQIA+** community and provide you with tantalising insights into their fields of research.
(*STEMM is a catch-all term for the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine)(**LGBTQIA+ refers to people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual or are otherwise not cisgender and/or not straight/heterosexual)
Online-only attendance is free. A live feed displaying the speaker and their slides will be broadcast to Zoom. Both in-person and virtual attendees will be able to contribute to the Q&A with the speakers after their talks.
Please note that the talks will be recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel after the event. Audience questions will be removed from the recordings to preserve audience anonymity. Original recordings will only be seen by the PRISM Exeter coordination team and will be deleted within 30 days of the event.
This event is held in partnership with BIPC Devon and is sponsored by the University of Exeter's Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy. The manager of BIPC Exeter will provide a brief talk about the resources available at the Business & IP Centre, how they can help you with your business, and how these can be accessed.
