The LGBTQ+ Allies Network is holding the first Imperial LGBTQ+ Brains Symposium<\/strong><\/em> on Feb 27th<\/sup><\/strong> to mark LGBT History month. We are highlighting the work of 3 scientists (PhD student, Postdoctoral Fellow, Professor) who align with the LGBTQ+ community. You will hear about their research and their accomplishments, but also about their journey into science and experiences as queer people. EVERYONE is welcome to attend, regardless if they identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community or not.<\/p>\n

The event will be held in the Uren building, Level 12, at 4 pm<\/strong> and will be followed by a social with plenty of food and drinks at 5 pm (including vegan and vegeterian options).<\/strong> This will be run as a hybrid event for the first hour for those who cannot join us in person but would still like to attend the talks. If you are thinking of coming, sign up to our eventbrite page so we can prepare the food and drink options accordingly: https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/imperial-lgbtq-brains-symposium-tickets-518627166817<\/p>\n
