NSF AGEP Alliances: Beacons for Equity in the STEM Professoriate Part II

This is a continuation of our conversation from Episode 27, where we introduced current and past participants in conversations about the National Science Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program. In this episode, we discussed the importance of institutional change and the scholars shared their advice for program officers and project leaders on programmatic strategies for advancing equity in the STEM professoriate and for new and prospective scholars on how to thrive as graduate students, postdoctoral scholars or early career faculty members.

Our guests include:

• Dr. Luis De Jesus Baez, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University at Buffalo
• Brianna Gonzalez, Integrative Neuroscience Ph.D. Candidate at Stony Brook University
• Gretchen Johnson, Biology Ph.D. Candidate at Howard University
• Diego Padilla-Garcia, Ph.D. Candidate in Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara
• Dr. Lecia Robinson, Assistant Professor of Biology at Tuskegee University
• Dr. Tammi Taylor, Assistant Professor of Biology at Jackson State University
