To address challenges that we as a community must recognize and face, the DEI Task Force acts to further the IGB's goal of creating and maintaining an open and welcoming environment for all.
The task force is made up of various members of the IGB community, including faculty members, postdocs, researchers, and staff. It is open to anyone who wants to be a part of the conversations. Here are some frequently asked questions:
