We produced a session at the 2021 ScienceTalk conference:
#SciCommDiversity Lessons from #BlackInSTEM Events
Social media allows minorities in the sciences to build support networks. Such resilience is necessary since the pandemic has cancelled in-person conferences. Learn from organizers of the #BlackInMentalHealth, #BlackInSciComm, and #BlackInNeuro events about how their activities celebrate diversity in STEM, promote social justice, and demonstrate science communication strategies for reaching a minority audience.
