Description:

The Chemical and Biological Engineering Department's Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is pleased to present a virtual seminar by Mónica Feliú-Mójer from Ciencia Puerto Rico as part of our ChBE Seminar Series.

Dr. Mónica Feliú-Mójer will present a seminar titled "Storytelling and inclusive science communication to engage diverse audiences." In this talk, she will share examples of how storytelling and inclusive science communication can be applied to meaningfully engage diverse audiences, especially historically marginalized populations, and foster dialogue.

Dr. Mónica Feliú-Mójer is a bilingual science communicator who taps into her training (a PhD in neurobiology), personal background, and culture (a woman from a rural working-class community in Puerto Rico) to engage historically underserved and overlooked audiences, especially Puerto Ricans and other Spanish-speakers, with science. She has more than 17 years of experience in multimedia and inclusive science communication, community engagement, filmmaking, media relations, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Dr. Feliú-Mójer serves as Director of Communications for Ciencia Puerto Rico, Director of Inclusive Science Communication for the Science Communication Lab, and Producer for Wonder Collaborative. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and serves on the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine’s Standing Committee on Advancing Science Communication. 

You can attend this seminar over Zoom or in person in Tech LR4. Bagels and coffee will be provided at 9:30am, and the seminar will start at 9:40am. Please plan to arrive on time to grab a bagel and mingle!
