LGBTQ+ Chemistry Conference
We are happy to announce the first LGBTQ+ Chemistry Research Conference in New York this June. This conference is hosted by two graduate students from NYU, with the support of Chemical Makeup, the Alliance for Diversity in Science and Engineering, and NYU. Our hope is this conference will allow for a strong and diverse community of queer chemists to present their research and be exposed to exciting new areas of chemistry!
We invite all graduate students and post-docs to apply for a poster or oral presentation. The application process is free, and payment of $20 is due only if accepted. There is also the option to register to attend ($20) in lieu of applying to present. Lastly, there is an optional portion on the application for travel awards.

Chemical Makeup by ADSE@NYU
Chemical Makeup is a fundraising event that highlights the importance of scientific diversity and cultural talent. Chemistry is a field of understanding, yet also a power of influence that connects, shapes, and forms all living things. Our chemistry community has been challenged in regards to health, protest, belongingness, and partisanship. In this light, how does chemistry relate to power and how does chemistry relate to who we are? Artists, comedians, and musicians will be inspired to explore their own relationships with ‘chemistry and their chemical makeup,’ as patrons of the event engage with and contribute to the cause.
Date: November 4th, 2017
Time: 4-10pm, comedy show begins at 5pm
