The Yale Biomedical and Biological Sciences Diversity and Inclusion Collective (YBDIC) is a graduate student run organization that aims to increase representation of underrepresented groups in STEM. We develop programs that engage, empower, and advance individuals personally and professionally.
The YBDIC Outreach Branch focuses on providing access to science communication and education opportunities and resources to underrepresented, marginalized and disadvantaged individuals in community college, undergraduate and post-baccalaureate programs with the goal of increasing readiness for biological and biomedical careers.
In Spring 2021, the YBDIC Outreach Branch launched its inaugural Science Communication Series to provide undergraduate, community college, and post-baccalaureate students a training opportunity in science communication. This series features how to communicate to general/broad audiences through oral presentations, outreach demos, infographics, OpEds, among others.
Our 2021 YBDIC Outreach Science Communication Week will feature additional mechanisms of utilizing science communication to engage and educate broad audiences, build community, increase representation and visibility of diverse voices, build entrepreneurial ventures, have accessible platforms, and more!
