Black in Immuno is proud to host The Changemaker Series: An exploration of advocacy and activism in STEM. Throughout the series, we hope to provide a platform where we can discuss equity, research, and projects by members of the community. With each event, we aim to facilitate a collective learning approach to the challenges, best practices, and history of advocacy in STEM.
