Inside the Brilliant LGBTQ Scientific Mind

Tonight we talk to Jack Andraka, a recent 2018 Truman Scholar, National Geographic Emerging Explorer, researcher and Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award winner.   We talk to him about initiatives aimed at increasing the representation of LGBTQ+ populations in health data and open existing data to encourage more research on health disparities, rethinking the role of engineers and scientists to position them as advocates for social justice via use of their talents and position to address structural inequalities and injustices, and more! My panel tonight includes Gabriel Hudson and Brody Levesque.
