🏳️🌈AGQ, the queer affinity group of AGU (@theAGU ) is still early in our organization. However, there are several significant highlights over the past few years!
📈Records were broken by our events at #AGU24 and #AGU25, including the first queer science focused session in AGU’s history! Our membership, session attendance, and partnerships continue to increase every year!
🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️Happy Pride Month! At AGU, we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ scientists, students, educators, and allies who enrich the Earth and space sciences with their brilliance, curiosity, and courage.
Science thrives when everyone can bring their full selves to the work of discovery.
🌍✨This month and every month, we stand with our LGBTQIA+ community—because inclusion drives innovation, and representation matters.
