<p style="margin: 0px 0in 12pt; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">In this seminar, we will discuss the importance of considering diversity, inclusion and equity (DEI) practices in STEM disciplines
and explore potential strategies to promote them in our classrooms. We will explore the use of a tool, the STEM DEI syllabi rubric, to assess DEI. This rubric is specifically tailored to syllabi in the physical and biological sciences. In our discussion,
we will engage in a hands-on activity to examine the feasibility of its use, and its adaptability. The goal of the seminar is to include the suggestions of the STEM faculty participants in the current version of the rubric, to ultimately create a practical
tool whose use can be easily implemented in any science classroom.</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;"><br>

(she/ella) earned a B.S. in Biochemistry at University Havana, Cuba, and a PhD from the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, in New York. She is an Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at John Jay College in the City University of New
York and a Fulbright Scholar. Her research focuses on identifying the epigenetic patterns specific to US Latinas and Latin-American women with breast cancer centering on their genetic admixture. She is passionate about increasing the number of underrepresented
minority students that go on to graduate programs, and mentors many undergraduates in her research lab. She also has a deep commitment to increasing diversity and inclusion in the teaching of STEM disciplines. She is the PI of a NSF funded project that proposes
to create classroom materials using a culturally affirming lens in science courses. </span><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);"></span></p>
