As a woman in STEM, I have developed an appetite to communicate science with JEDI principles to a broader audience. I have actively participated in various outreach initiatives and mentorship roles with a commitment to DEI-B principles for both specialists (PhDs and postdocs) and non-specialist audiences (old age homes, refugees in Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey) at Stanford and beyond. Through my experience of running a science communication platform “Fuzzy Synapse” since 2017, I have learned and consciously made efforts to be mindful of representation and inclusion in my work. I hope to grow, contribute and collaborate in STEM with JEDI.
