We would like to congratulate Marina Corella Tor and Hannah Allan who, with Salit, received grants to lead teams in working to improve the diversity and equity of LGBTQIA+ and Australian First Nations Peoples within the School of Biological Sciences at UQ. The two projects supported by the 2021 Grant for Mentoring and Diversity in Biology include:

LGBTQIA+ equity and diversity within the School of Biological Sciences

Promoting the equity and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and staff within the School of Biological Sciences

We look forward to making some meaningful contributions and changes that will improve the overall community and inclusivity within the School of Biological Sciences.
