<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">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.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
