ALT A female geologist holds a clipboard of field notes and crouches next to a rock outcrop. Brianna Green, Diverse Geologists. “...there were many times I felt left out and unwanted. Being the only Black woman in my department made it especially difficult to deal with these feelings. Reaching out and connecting with other BIPOC scientists and students helped me to open up about these struggles I faced….As I continue in my STEM journey, I hope to provide others with this same type of support and share my story to encourage others to do the same!"

ALT A picture of a man smiling, standing in front of an active lava field. Ivan Carabajal, Diverse Geologists. “I have seen my role change as a geologist to an activist/ally. Today, my research focuses on using Critical Disability Theory to investigate and (hopefully) dismantle the sociocultural norms that promote exclusion in the geosciences. I also work with the International Association for Geoscience Diversity to advocate for a more inclusive earth science community." Read more at DiverseGeologists.org

ALT A woman seated and smiling in front of a geologic rock outcrop. Tais Queiroz, Diverse Geologists. Quote reads: "The beginning was not exactly easy. I did not see myself belonging to the place and only after some time I realized that this was due to the absence of people I could relate to (black people and LGBTQ+)...even with some difficulties, I know I want geology in my life and because of it, I "restarted" my history in the course. It remains difficult to observe our area since it is so elitist, but I started to occupy spaces and I hope to be able to welcome my fellow colleagues/classmates." Read more at DiverseGeologists.org

Image reads: Dr. Lisa White, Diverse Geologists, “At the UC Museum of Paleontology I incorporate museum research into teaching and learning materials on evolution, nature and process of science, and global change, and work to expand UCMP online resources for educators who seek to be more inclusive in their instructional practices. I continue to run field-based programs for students, at sea and on land, and I develop virtual field experiences to classic geological localities along the west coast of the US."
