SUMMARY:Women and Diversity in STEM: A Personal Journey
DESCRIPTION:An interactive presentation on the status of women in STEM in Canada as reflected in Dr. Valdez’s journey as an immigrant woman. A passion for science took her from her home town in Cusco\, Perú to Canada for a better education. During her journey in academia\, she learned to navigate the intricacies of the research environment as a woman of color. \nShe then transitioned to industry\, where she was confronted with a highly competitive environment inside and out of the Research and Development Department\, where the same rules and strategies of academic life did not necessarily apply. She has also gained experience in research management. Her work for the UBC Faculty of Medicine exposed her to an new side of academia\, directing various programs aimed at supporting research initiatives and environment from the undergraduate level to the recruitment of top-notch faculty researchers. \nNow she runs @ImmunoLatinXs\, where she amplifies minority voices in science and connects immunology enthusiasts around the world. Her varied experiences provide unique insight into life as a visible minority woman navigating different areas of science. \nFollowing the presentation is a Q&A period. She will be openly discussing all aspects of her research journey and her life as a wife and mother. \nJoin us to hear the story of Dr. Valdez’s journey from bench to boardroom\, and how her experiences can help you succeed in your scientific career! \nProgram: \n12:00-12:10 Welcome \n12:10-12:35 Presentation \n12:35-12:55 Q&A \n12:55-1:00 Closing

He teaches a number of courses encompassing various aspects of technical communication: Form\, Style and Professional Genres; Graphical Communication for Engineering; Spatial Thinking and Communicating; Project Documentation and Team Dynamics; and Social Responsibility and Professional Practice. Because of his technical training as an engineer\, Michael has firsthand knowledge of the requirements needed for effectively communicating technical material. \nIn addition to his teaching duties at the university\, Michael has taught technical writing for the Management Skills and Advanced Technology program. He also provides writing and editing services for graduate students\, professors\, and private companies. Michael is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (societies: Professional Communication\, Technology and Society\, and Engineering Management Society)\, a member of The Canadian Association for the Study of Discourse and Writing\, a member in the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education\, and an EIT with the Association of Engineers and Geoscientists of BC. \nREGISTRATION\nRegistration in this session is required\, and is now open. There are limited seats available in this session\, and those successfully registered will receive an email within one week of the session date. \nDELIVERY FORMAT\nDue to the ongoing situation surrounding COVID-19\, this session will be delivered online via Zoom. The following suggestions may help to improve the online experience: \n\nUse headphones to reduce noise and avoid feedback between your mic and speaker.\nEnsure that you are in a quiet location so that the audio does not get polluted with unwanted noise.\nKeep your microphone on mute unless you are speaking during the session.\nIn case of technical problems\, time for plugin downloads\, etc.\, please attempt to log into the Zoom meeting 10-15 minutes before the start.
