DEEP Connections
DEEP Connections (Developing Engagement through Existing Pipeline Connections) Lecture Series explores the many intersections of diversity and science by highlighting the amazing scientific endeavors of traditionally underrepresented and marginalized scholars who are also advocates, actively engaged in advancing equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the fields of earth, ocean and atmospheric sciences. Join us for an exciting and informative discussion about their work and their EDI-related efforts.
DEEP Connections is open to all eligible members of the Scripps and UC San Diego community.
