Event Description

“Mental Health in STEM” is presented by the DEI Taskforce and led by M&I’s Filipe Cerqueira. Did you know that 25% of scientists say that the culture surrounding research damages the quality of their work (Nature 2020)? This interactive workshop will tackle questions like: How does mental health impact science and scientists? How do you maintain an inclusive environment for trainees experiencing mental health issues? How can addressing mental health improve your research environment?

The DEI Taskforce and the OGPS counselors Kate M. Hagadone, PhD, LP and LaNeisha Murphy, MS, LPC will lead a data-driven discussion about promoting mental health in science and what that can look like. This workshop will utilize breakout rooms and open discussion to create an interactive learning experience for attendees.
