AU OurSTEMstory

The road to modernity was not always paved with respect for life, liberty, or property, and we are choosing to address the more distasteful acts conducted in the name of research and advancement by having conversations about them. We created a seminar series in efforts to educate both current and future scientists, and the public on research ethics. The series, entitled, OurSTEMstory, is designed to have a keynote speaker on research ethics topics followed engaging conversation on a historical or current case study serving as an example ethical violation.  The name "OurSTEMstory" is an adaptation of the famed "#HERstory" campaign launched by Empower Women in collaboration with Global Champions for Women’s Economic Empowerment that was designed to highlight the contributions of women to the advancement of humanity. Similarly, "OurSTEMstory," is designed to raise awareness about the contributions of underrepresented groups in STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
