Plant Biology 2022 ROOT&SHOOT Idea Café workshop, July 11, 1:30 PM PDT
Professional societies exist to support all their members, and scientific conferences and journals are intended to serve all equitably. We want to hear from you about your experiences navigating your professional spheres, so that we can collectively identify and work to address processes that are inequitable or opaque.
At the Plant Biology 2022 meeting, we are hosting an Idea Café* during which you will join with others to share your experiences attending professional society conferences, engaging as a member, submitting to or reviewing for journals, or other professional processes. Collectively we will identify barriers to full equity, inclusion, access, and belonging, and we will explore opportunities to overcome or eliminate those barriers.
* An Idea Café is a conversational method used to solicit ideas on a particular issue, problem or opportunity for which you are looking for creative suggestions. Listening to others’ verbalized experiences stimulates memories, ideas, and experiences in participants.
This workshop will be held Monday July 11, 1:30 - 3:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time at the Plant Biology conference in Portland, Oregon. Although no remote participation will be available, if you would like to participate in a virtual Idea Café at a later time you may indicate so below.
