Dimensions Sciences' Marcia Fournier on diversity in Science
DS CARES - Dimensions Sciences Campaigns for Awareness of Science - interviewed Marcia Fournier with the following question: How does society benefit from diversity in science? Marcia answers with a sports analogy that helps to understand how diversity of culture, gender, race, age, disability, can bring value to science. Since Marcia recorded this video two vaccines for COVID-19 were approved in the US. These vaccines use an innovative technology based on RNA. Cheers to diversity in science!

Coaching
Mentors and mentees work together to create a diverse workforce in STEM careers and economic growth for minority communities in STEM.
It provides opportunity for matching participants with mentors in relevant areas key for personal and professional development.
Different from coaching in that the mentor has specific experience in the field and can offer expert advice based on their own experiences.

Coaching
Nurture professional and personal growth. Coachee sets their goals and the coach asks questions to help them figure out how to get there.
It's an action model: at the end of the session the coachee identifies the actions they will take. A coach does not have to have expertise in the coachee's field, only expertise in coaching. The coach does not offer advice.
