In our first ever episode, podcast hosts R and Bri explore what queer science looks like with special guest Dr. Jamila Simpson. Unpacking how to go beyond diversity and inclusion in STEM to start fighting for justice, we reflect on the importance of representation and empowerment for marginalized groups in science.

Dr. Simpson serves as Assistant Dean for Academic Programs, Student Diversity and Engagement, for the College of Sciences at NC State University.
