Greetings from SEPAL in Washington, D.C.!
Dax Ovid, Lucy Luong, and Kimberly Tanner were together in-person at the NIH SciEd 2022 Conference last week in D.C. representing the Scientist Spotlights Initiative. Dax and Lucy presented a flash talk and poster to share data on the impact of Scientist Spotlights on high school students and encourage other science educators to implement Scientist Spotlights in their classes and programs. Great job, Dax and Lucy!

SFSU BS & MS Biology Alumnus, Adrienne Le, recently published a Wikipedia page on our very own Kimberly Tanner! Adrienne worked on writing up Kimberly’s page and got it edited, approved, and published by the Wikipedia editors.
You can view Kimberly’s Wikipedia page here!
Adrienne has connected with SEPAL through the Learners Engaged in Advocating for Diversity in Science Engaged in Advancing Diversity to Science (LEADS) program, where she had been interviewed by various LEADS students to be featured in a Scientist Spotlight. Her story in science has been shared in multiple SFSU biology classrooms and was referenced in research by Aranda, et al. Currently, Adrienne is a PhD student at the University of Washington.
Thank you, Adrienne, for all of your efforts in making science more diverse and inclusive and for this wonderful tribute to Kimberly!
