Twenty-minute roundtable discussions centred on issues facing Earth Scientists today. Each discussion will be led by individuals with experience in social or personal challenges related to aspects of mental health, inclusion and safety in the field, and navigating career development. We will share experiences and brainstorm ideas to navigate and overcome these issues. The goal of the session is to build community around shared challenges. We invite discussion leaders with personal knowledge in Inclusion, Safety, and Social Justice who are willing to share their lived experiences.
