Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to co-sponsor the second annual ‘LGBTQ+ Scholars in STEM’, a San Diego-based event aimed at empowering the next generation of biotech leaders! It was an evening filled with insightful discussions and meaningful connections.
 
Our very own JP Mac Donald and Archit Rastogi spoke on panels alongside biotech leaders from our hosts Illumina as well as Bristol Myers Squibb, Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Takeda, Travere Therapeutics, and OUTbio San Diego. Panelists delved into the intricacies of making the leap from academia to industry, while also shedding light on LGBTQ+ inclusivity in the workplace.
 
Events like these are crucial for fostering diversity and inclusion in our industry and provide a platform for LGBTQIA+ individuals to share their unique career experiences and insights. It's truly inspiring to witness the passion and drive that these individuals bring to their work, reminding us of the importance of creating inclusive environments where everyone can thrive.
 
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for this event and continues to champion diversity and inclusion in STEM.

#GlobalFattyLiverDay, led by Global Liver Institute, is an annual moment in time to educate about fatty liver disease, which impacts over 115 million people globally. 

#FattyLiverDisease may lead to serious complications like cirrhosis, liver cancer or the need for a liver transplant. Due to the lack of obvious symptoms, people impacted by this condition may struggle to receive a diagnosis.

Join us in raising awareness of this progressive condition.
