Remember last year when we launched #HotScienceSummer and gave away $50,000 to BIPOC STEM Creatives via @Lets_Experiment ??? We teamed up with @storycollider to bring you Hot Science Stories –– stories from our Hot Science Set about the intersection of their science & identity.
The Hot Science Stories event flyer shows a Black woman with an afro smiling in front of a tile wall with a purple toned filter. The overlayed text reads "Hot Science Stories. June 1, 2022 at 4pm Eastern. Youtube.com/VanguardSTEM".
