This week we're joined by Dr. Scott Auerbach, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and Mahoney Family Sponsored Executive Director of the UMass iCons (Integrated Concentration in Science) Program. In this conversation, we discuss issues of racism and diversity in STEM, how science suffers from and perpetuates racism, and what the iCons program is doing to combat this historically pervasive issue. Dr. Auerbach also tells us about the iCons recruitment process that's lead to their most diverse cohort yet, as well as the real-world problems addressed in the senior virtual exhibition this year.
