Had a great time chatting with Jocelyn G. Olvera from Nucleate San Diego about building a positive and diverse culture through my work with OUTbio San Diego. It's hard to believe that just five years ago, I was in the shoes of the audience members (grad students & postdocs). Time sure does fly! Huge thanks to Jocelyn having me and to the graduate Diversity and Science Lecture Series (DASL) and Center for RNA Technologies and Therapeutics for sponsoring this event! We will be hosting more student-focused events in the future, so subscribe to our newsletter at https://lnkd.in/gzgreNQg to stay informed! 🏳️🌈 #LGBTQ+ #DEI #Startup #entrepreneurship #OUTbioSD

In collaboration with Vertex Pharmaceuticals, OUTbio San Diego hosted a fun and joyful Summer Backyard BBQ on what could not have been a more beautiful day in San Diego, California on 8/22/24! We extend our special thanks and gratitude to Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Vertex Pharmaceuticals) for co-hosting this event and providing their stunning backyard space—complete with entertaining games and delicious barbecue catered by Phil's BBQ. We also want to thank Urban Mo's (@urbanmos) and Hillcrest Brewing Company (@hillcrestbrewingcompany) for their generous donations of vouchers and gift cards for our raffle. At OUTbio San Diego, we recognize the growing demand and unmet need for bringing together the LGBTQ+ community and its allies within the life sciences and biotech industry to celebrate collectivity, solidarity, and identity. We encourage everyone to continue showing up for events like this, as the community you support is the community you help build! 🫶🌈 If you haven't already, please visit our website (outbiosandiego.org) to make a donation, volunteer, and subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on future events!
