\nHello! I\u2019m Jordan and I\u2019m entering the final year of my MSc in geology (looking at platform-edge rocks in western Newfoundland), and I\u2019m excited to have the opportunity to be a part of the Grace Anne Stewart Speaker Series again this year! I think that having a speaker series which focuses on increasing the visibility of underrepresented groups is needed to address the tendency within the sciences to ignore the human aspects of research, and helps in building a more collaborative space for people to participate!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hi, I'm Sophie, one of the Co-Presidents. I'm a Ph.D. candidate studying redox processes inside Mars. I joined GASI because I believe in the power of EDI initiatives to drive meaningful change within the scientific community. I look forward to starting the mentorship program in 2025 and hosting exciting geoscience speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hello! I'm Arzu, currently pursuing my PhD in geology with a specialization in trace fossils. This year, I'm excited to collaborate with GASI to organize panels that delve into important topics. My goal is to facilitate meaningful discussions on equity, diversity, and inclusion, ensuring that we bring forward perspectives that contribute to a more inclusive and supportive environment. I look forward to engaging with the community and creating a platform for insightful conversations that drive positive change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ciara Stewart is a Panel Event Organizer for GASI, driven by a passion for fostering inclusivity in the scientific community. As a woman navigating academia with ADHD and dyslexia, she has experienced the challenges of feeling out of place in traditional academic spaces. Inspired by GASI\u2019s dedication to celebrating diversity and supporting underrepresented groups, she is committed to creating events that make others feel valued and included. She strongly believes in the importance of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion to ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive, breaking down barriers and enriching the scientific community with diverse perspectives and ideas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
