I am not an Inclusion in Science participants 2023-2024 or an ASE member, can I still attend?
No problem, you can become a ASE member. All IIS participants and ASE members are entitled to attend the conference. If you are not already an ASE member you can become one and then sign up for the Inclusion in Science Conference.
There are 2 sessions on at the same time, what can I do?
All of our speakers (apart from Dr Pragya Agarwal 'Science for Everyone: Disrupting the myths' 10.00-10.55) have very kindly given permission for us to record their session. These recording will be available to people who have signed up to our conference until August 31st 2024 with the exceptions of Angela Saini’s session which will be available until 31st July 2024.
I’d love to come but I’m teaching all day. What can I do?
That’s not a problem. If you would like to attend but can’t we would still recommend signing up for the conference. This would allow you access to the recordings after the event. If you have any free time during the day you would be welcome to attend any session(s) at that time.
Are the sessions interactive?
Good questions. This is at the discretion of the speaker. Read our program, sched and webpage for more information on each session.
I would like to ask Angela Saini a question - can I?
Yes. You can share your questions here and, time permitting, we may ask Angela Saini your question on 1st July!
