To combat the increased sense of isolation arising from COVID-19 and bring people from various institutions and professional backgrounds together virtually during the pandemic, the Center for Diverse Leadership in Science is hosting a virtual talk and discussion series. This series hosts a variety of different talks by students and community members on many topics ranging from professional development, research talks and discussions about ethical STEM practices. The various speakers bring together a wide body of knowledge coming from different perspectives gained through their identities and experiences. Accessibility to these talks for anyone interested was a priority and measures were put in place to assist in this regard. The series allows for the continuation and new development of ties between undergraduates, graduates, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and community members. Additionally, the series allows for spread and gain of knowledge on many topics taught by a diverse pool of perspectives and identities. We will assess the impacts of this series on science identity, belonging, and leadership skills.
