Out in STEM: LGBTQ+ Scientists and Innovators Exhibition
This exhibition celebrates the contributions of LGBTQ+ scientists and innovators whose work has shaped science, technology, health, and discovery. Through a series of profiles displayed across campus, Out in STEM highlights the people behind the breakthroughs — making visible the diversity, creativity, and impact of queer voices in science.
Part of LGBTQ+ History Month, the exhibition invites students and staff to explore how identity and innovation intersect, and why representation in STEM matters.
We’re also inviting LGBTQ+ students, staff and allies to get involved by sharing your experiences, interests, or ideas connecting science, innovation, and queer culture. Participation is flexible, you can choose how visible you’d like to be, and no prior experience is needed.
