Dr. Vanessa Ralph, Chemistry Education Researcher (With Guest Host Stephanie Berg)

Pride Month may be over but MFQC Pride Summer is still underway! Welcome back for Week 3, y'all! This week on the show we welcomed back Stephanie Berg (she/her) to the MFQC studio as our guest host! Steph chatted with Dr. Vanessa Ralph (she/ella), a chemistry education researcher. They discussed how different aspects of identity impact their chemistry education research, the current climate of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) research in science education spaces, and more. Vanessa also shares tips and literature to help new education researchers (and everyone!) thoughtfully and equitably approach DEI work.

This episode is benefitting Black and Pink (chosen by our guest host, Stephanie) and the GoFundMe fundraiser is LIVE (https://gofund.me/ef7aa275) and will close 8/5. To connect with Stephanie and Vanessa you can follow them on Twitter @ssnorkles and @vanessachemedu (and us @MFQCPod). We'll see y'all next time and remember that Black Lives Matter today and everyday.
