Happy Monday! Thought I'd share this seminar today on "Equity Through Access: Mitigating Obstacles for Underrepresented Scholars in STEM." The time is from 1:30 to 2:30 pm E.T. (there's a typo on the flyer). It will also be recorded.

Our speaker is Catalina Martinez <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mit.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=912b6ab467a6e2850dc5bdb22&id=16067dcada&e=304f9582be__;!!JmPEgBY0HMszNaDT!8vAavEXtDcD17weFIki72f82y4FSNbMhvkl345w64t0VnU9jfwpOYvqB0bDSMNegB9pv$>, the Regional Program Manager for the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research. A certified diversity professional, Ms. Martinez began her ocean science career with NOAA in 2002 working on ship operations and logistics, as well as education and outreach initiatives associated with oceanographic expeditions. She spent many years sailing on research vessels as Expedition Coordinator for NOAA OER, and currently spends most of her time managing the joint efforts associated with multiple important collaborations at URI, and as regional liaison for the program. Ms. Martinez also works on a variety of local, regional, and national efforts to face the barriers to entry for underrepresented individuals into STEM fields.

One of the direct ways we know to bridge workforce gaps is through development of student and early career opportunities as gateways to entry, including internships and undergrad research experiences (UREs). In this session, we will explore barriers to entry for underrepresented students into such programs, and share suggestions to mitigate barriers and diversify programs, while creating a more holistic, equitable experience for all applicants. About the Open Ocean Seminar Series This Fall, the MIT Media Lab's Open Ocean Initiative is holding its Fall Seminar Series. Come join us this semester *online* every other Monday at lunchtime to discuss issues related to ocean exploration, technology, and community building.
