Dr. Hazel Bain, CIRES
Dr. Hazel Bain is a CIRES Research Scientist based at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. She has a strong interest in increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM because she believes that everyone should have the opportunity to be present, to be heard, and to be treated fairly. Biases, both explicit and implicit, often stand in the way of this. Implicit biases, in particular, are something that we all have and need to be aware of in order to reduce their impacts. She recently convened a panel on implicit bias at the AGU Fall meeting in order to connect experts in this field with our scientific community, with the goal of furthering our communities awareness of implicit biases
Dr. Chelsea Thompson, Scientific Aviation
