Society for Neurosciences (SfN) will have the virtual event Global Connectome, from January 11-13, 2021, where there will feature a variety of panel sessions, “a discussion of science and culture focusing on how to continue to enhance the work of science” (SfN,2021). On Tuesday, January 12 at 1:15\u20132 p.m. (EST), our co-principal investigator, Dr. Carmen S. Maldonado-Vlaar<\/a> is going to be presenting at the panel “Power and Privilege \u2014 Underrepresented Groups in STEM and Allies Navigating the Landmines<\/a>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About this panel: ” Academia is a hierarchical system where power and privilege disproportionately impact those from underrepresented groups. Consistent efforts to change our current system are required. Yet, underrepresented individuals seek to succeed today even as these changes are not satisfactorily implemented.  As underrepresented groups in STEM and their allies, we need to recognize and respond to these challenges. We will explore the systemic and structural barriers to success and share approaches, perspectives, and personal narratives that can be helpful, particularly during vulnerable periods. Our goal is to inspire our community to stay firmly on the path to success by successfully navigating the landmines. (SfN, 2021)”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
