Sumario:In recognition of LGBTQ+ STEM Day on November 18th, we celebrate the achievements of queer researchers and their efforts to improve representation in STEM. Scott Cocker and Kyle Shanebeck are PhD students at the University of Alberta and co-founders of Scientific QUEERies, a biweekly seminar series that provides a platform for queer STEM professionals to share their achievements and personal stories. In this Q&A, we asked Scott and Kyle about their own research experiences, what it means to be queer in STEM, and the importance of initiatives like Scientific QUEERies.
