Project Biodiversify
Tools to diversify and humanize biology courses
projectbiodiversify.wpcomstaging.com
"High-quality research examples done by amazing biologists from under-represented or marginalized groups"
Things to include in slide-deck???:
- ask people what they would like to see / what type of information would be helpful for a classroom setting
- images (Professional photo, personal photo)
- summary of a research paper
- societal relevance of work
- research summary
Format of slide deck???:
- Google slides? Powerpoint?
- Project Biodiversity uses 3 slides: Researcher profile, Study System, Key Figure.
- Ready-to-present with presenter notes + additional information available on website
- Start with Powerpoint slides and maybe integrate them into a website
Collecting information:
- Online searching
- Get suggestions from McGill staff
- Maybe have a way to submit a slide: Google form to fill out?

Minority Physicist Profiles
Physicists don't all work in labs or teach physics, although many do, and love their jobs. A physics degree will qualify you for a variety of careers from inventing to analyzing to improving. Find out the diversity of physics by exploring the jobs of these physicists. Think physics and medicine don't mix?

Developing world: The minority minority
Patchanita Thamyongkit was waiting patiently near the stage at a conference on the importance of science for Thailand, when the organizer rushed up to her and asked whether she had seen the next presenter, Professor Thamyongkit. "That's me," she replied. An awkward pause followed. "Oh, I thought you were his secretary," came his reply.

- create a landing page with information/statistics about minorities in physics.
Minority Physics Statistics
APS and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Statistical Research Center provide a variety of statistics on minorities in physics in the US. AIP Minorities in Physics Statistics APS generates statistical reports on minorities in physics. Current reports are shown below. These reports are freely available for your use.
