E.E. Just members had a blast yesterday collaborating with @Penn_SACNAS, @duboiscircle, @IDEAL_Research, @WePACReads, and MicroIDEAS through the Micro department to host Library cafes at local elementary schools in Philadelphia, in honor of National STEM Day!
This initiative was created by Rachel Richards @_RachelMari3 and MicroIDEAS with the goal of introducing the concept of STEM while encouraging literacy development. We are envigorated by this opportunity to represent black and brown students in STEM for the next generation!
E.E. Just kicked off the "Beyond Academia" seminar series this past Tuesday by hosting Dr. Cherié Butts, the current Medical Director at @biogen! Students got the chance to hear her talk on interferons and learn about the current work of clinical trials going on at Biogen!
E.E. Just has been active these last few weeks! We've enjoyed putting on both social and professional development events for our members, as well as collaborating with the community for outreach and opportunity exposure! Check out this thread to see more: 1/
Finally, we kicked off the first session of our FirstHand volunteering for the semester, helping local middle school students build their scientific background in the microbiome! We loved all their amazing questions and we can't wait to help build their projects!

Congratulations are in order for former E. E. Just e-board member and member of Neuroscience Graduate Group @IlennaJ for her successful thesis defense! During her time in E. E. Just, Ilenna organized our seminars for professional development. Congratulations Dr. Jones! – at Davidson, NC
E.E. Just Kicks Ax! Our e-board had a wonderful time bonding at Kick Ax Throwing on Market St. this past week, as our 2 teams, the Ax Dolls and the Ax Murderers, battled it out!

We love an @UPennEEJust alumni link-up!! Great to see you all doing well and amazing science 🧪
A real treat to see my friends from grad school @pennbgs at HHMI. Dr. Nadeene Riddick and Dr. Teshell Greene work in science education at HHMI Biointeractive. It was vital to have a cohort of URM students at Penn to support one another and do outreach together with @UPennEEJust.
