As the year draws to a close, so does my 3-year appointment on the @MicrobioSoc #EDI Members Panel. I would like to thank the Society for allowing me to play my small part in making Microbiology more accessible for historically marginalised communities.

[Kirsty 🌸 @racketscience1]

I'm passing over the baton and looking forward to the expansion of iniatives in continued work to reduce the barriers further. #IDPWD2024 @UniofStaffs #Diversityinstem #InclusionMatters #representation

Everyone should have an equitable opportunity to pursue and enjoy science, develop skills, and share their unique perspectives, so they can reach their full potential.
