Science and academia need diversity. Easier said than done because, for example, many students face housing insecurity, which keeps them from a focus on their studies.

In this episode you will hear from Abbi Cundall, Natalie Clifford, Emerald Waters, Zennon Ulyate-Crow and Nicolas Robles. (Art: J. Jackson, Music: Nonsense by Raw licensed from artist.io)
