Next SHIELD Webinar: Queer Eye for Space Science
Friday, Jan. 19th, 2024, 2pm ET

The value of diversity within a scientific team is well documented. Team members with different backgrounds and experiences bring different perspectives to the problems and challenges faced by the team. This webinar will bring together 3 space scientists who are also members of the LGBTQ+ community to discuss how being queer influenced their trajectory and made their science a richer experience. We will discuss their personal trajectories, mentorships, and aspects such as - did being queer make them do or have a different approach to exploring scientific questions. As usual with our webinars, we will have an unguarded frank conversation and will be open to the audience for questions.

Panelist include:

  *   Merav Opher (she/her), Professor in the Astronomy Department at Boston University.
  *   Edgard G. Rivera-Valentín (they/he) Planetary Scientist at JHU Applied Physics Lab
  *   Jaye Verniero (they/he); Astrophysicist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
