Science is a human endeavor. As a result, science is not free from bias. This is why it is important to create culturally and socially relevant environments in STEM. To do this, we must design inclusive spaces for learning and professional work. The traditionally straight, white, and masculine narrative of STEM needs to be rewritten!

Battery technology is commonplace. Batteries power our cars, our cell phones, and our watches. They power the tools and devices we use in our home and in some cases, they power the home itself! As individuals, organizations, and nations attempt to build a better future, we need new batteries. Continue reading “Celebrating 75 years at Argonne National Laboratory: Batteries of Tomorrow”
C2ST and Argonne National Laboratory are excited to continue our 75th anniversary partnership celebration by taking a close look at how Argonne made its name–the production of clean nuclear energy. The lab has grown extensively since its founding, tackling an array of societal challenges in science, energy, the environment, and national security, but nuclear research was there at the start and is still an important part of Argonne’s portfolio today. Continue reading “Celebrating 75 years at Argonne National Laboratory: Nuclear Energy”
Join C2ST and Dr. Steven Kessel for our monthly Science and Sandwiches Program! On the first Friday of every month, we will be sitting down with an expert during the lunch hour to chat about life, about science, careers, a day on the job, and whatever else you’re interested in learning about them–within reason, anyways. Continue reading “Science and Sandwiches featuring Steven Kessel, PhD”
What the heck is Bioinformatics, anyway? A field of study that combines biology, statistics and computer science, bioinformatics helps us make sense of biological data like DNA and explain how the magic we call life plays out in our tiny cells. Dr. Saurabh Sinha leads a bioinformatics lab and is here to help illuminate its vast potential. Join us to learn more about how Dr. Sinha sees his field advancing and changing the way we think about our DNA. Continue reading “Bioinformatics: Understanding Our Genes”
