About
The purpose of this session is to highlight the research conducted by Black and Latinx in biomaterials, and to provide a safe and inclusive space for attendees to learn about the experiences of minoritized early-career biomaterials scientists and engineers and freely ask questions. The Session will begin with a brief introduction to the mission and role communities followed by research presentations by the invited speakers. After the presentations, there will be a panel-style open Q&A and discussion, where attendees will be able to ask questions relevant to both the research and the personal struggles of the speakers.
