NEW EOD FOCUS/INTEREST GROUPS

diversity

We are setting up three ‘member focus groups’ to promote wider discussions on how we can support and enhance:
 

  1. Outreach  
  2. Education  
  3. Diversity  

The outreach group will have a focus on public engagement with experimental biology and encouraging the next generation of scientists, the education group will focus on innovative and inclusive bioscience education and pedagogical methods and the diversity group will aim to promote an inclusive environment at the SEB and improving diversity in science and academia more widely.

 

We invite any SEB member who is interested in taking a more active role to get in touch. Your initial commitment will be to attend four one-hour online discussions per year to input your own ideas on our existing outreach, education and/or diversity activities and resources for members (and non-members) and how we could increase our impact.

Any focus group members who want to be more actively involved will have the opportunity to co-organise/host activities and/or co-create resources. If you are interested in joining one (or more) of these focus groups please email [email protected] with your name, and why you want to be involved.

 

If you would like to have an informal discussion about this, please contact Sheila Amici-Dargan [email protected] or Rebecca Ellerington [email protected]
