Why Should You Present an Abstract at ABRCMS?
What Is ABRCMS?
Unlocking the full potential of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) requires embracing diversity and fostering inclusion. Throughout history, certain groups have faced exclusion from these fields, making it imperative to prioritize their representation and involvement. Embracing diversity in STEM not only fuels problem-solving and advances innovative processes, but it also ensures equitable distribution of scientific advancements across all communities.
In this way, the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) provides a sanctuary for students and nonstudents in 12 Scientific Disciplines to present their research, connect with peers and mentors and discuss the challenges and obstacles that diverse students and scientists in STEM face.
