Happy LGBTQ+ STEM Day 2025! 🏳️🌈
Today we recognize the contributions of LGBTQIA+ people in STEMM and reflect on the barriers that continue to shape their experiences in scientific and academic environments.
LGBTQIA+ scientists have driven progress in every era of discovery, yet many have worked without the freedom to be fully themselves, navigating workplace cultures where showing up authentically carried professional risk. Today serves as a reminder that these biases still affect LGBTQIA+ scientists and their career trajectories.
LGBTQ+ STEM Day was created by Pride in STEM...
