June will be the official month to Salute LGBT Scientists & Engineers. I know we’re in the middle of Women’s History Month now, but I like lining things up. If anyone would like that month’s carnival of Diversity in Science shoot me a message.

My church always does Mass in the Park (Trinity Episcopal St. Louis). Anyway, DN, that would be a great wrap-up event for the month. We should talk. If we’re both here and you end up doing a blog tribute, there are people you should meet! :)

Also, I think that we know more LGBT students because our section is EE&S, thereby more diverse and interdisciplinary merely in definition. I don’t know about oceanography, but my (albeit limited) experiences with Fisheries folks makes me suspect that Dr. Glitterbear’s experience would carry over to other Wildlife Sciences too.

How should this idea be approached/introduced? (Though I consider myself an ally, I’m also sensitive about being insensitive)

And when would be a good time to host such a blog tribute? Is there a PRIDE month?

I’ve never met anyone gay at anything professional, but I probably have and not known it. In terms of Jewry, I’m convinced it’s due to the Mother Factor:
“Achh, with talents like yours, you should be a doctor!”

We lived about a block away from Hash House (NOM NOM) for 2.5 years, but just moved into student housing in soulless UTC. The advantage is that I ride my bike to school and thus can justify consuming MORE french toast!
