[SEMCO] OCEAN Speaker TODAY at 4pm - Dr. Fatma Gomaa

[Jennie Rheuban]

We are pleased to advertise the second speaker of the OCEAN series is today!


OCEAN is a webinar series dedicated to amplifying early career Black, 
Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) marine researchers and 
professionals in New England funded by Woods Hole Sea Grant. Over the 
past three decades, the racial and ethnic composition of advanced marine 
sciences degree holders, tenured faculty in geosciences, and leadership 
in environmental organizations has changed very little. This stagnation 
is credited to myriad barriers, such as systemic biases in gender and 
economics and the paucity of the school-to-career pipelines for BIPOC in 
the sciences. With COVID-19 exacerbating these barriers, we must act in 
a timely and urgent manner to support BIPOC marine researchers and 
professionals in advancing their careers.

The objective of the webinar series is to create a platform for 
early-career BIPOC researchers and professionals to share their research 
and engage with a community of students, faculty and researchers in the 
marine sciences.

The second speaker, Dr. Fatma Gomaa, will be giving a seminar talk on 
*Wednesday, March 3rd at 4 PM EST* at the SFE departmental seminar. Dr. 
Gomaa is a Research Associate at Woods Hole Oceanographic 
Institution studying marine protists in challenging environments from 
polluted arsenic water bodies to deep sea environments. If you are an 
undergraduate at UMass Boston, join Dr. Gomaa’s ‘Meet the Speaker’ event 
right after the webinar to learn more about her research and pathway in 
science.
