LGBTQ+ STEMinar 2020 – The Conference Photograph!

Posted in Biographical, LGBTQ+ with tags , , , on February 17, 2020 by telescoper

Regular readers of this blog – both of them – will be aware that last month I attended the 2020 LGBTQ+ STEMinar at the University of Birmingham. This was fifth of these and the largest one of these do far, with around 250 participants. Anyway, I’ve just received delivery of the conference photo!

You’ll see me on the extreme left about half way up. Of course there are fewer than 250 in the photograph: not everyone wanted to be in it (for a variety of reasons).

Anyway, the next one of these will be in 2021 in Oxford where, I am told, there is also a university.

LGBTQ+ STEMinar 2020

Well I made it to Birmingham (after getting up at 3.30am!) and to the Leonard Deacon Lecture Theatre in the School of Medicine at the University thereof for this year’s LGBT+ STEMinar (the 5th of a series that started in 2016).

This is the largest one of these do far, with around 250 participants, and an impressive array of sponsors:

One of the great things about the LGBTSTEMeminar (apart from the feeling of being amongst ‘family’) is the opportunity to hear talks about fields other than your own, which I am enjoying very much.

Ooh. I forgot to mention that next year’s event will also be in the Midlands, at Oxford University.
