SOMA Summit 2022: Toward a Safe and Equitable Graduate Work Environment

The SOMA committee

You are invited to the 5th Annual SOMA Summit!

UC Davis Center for Neuroscience

We are Seminar Outreach for Minority Advocacy (SOMA), a graduate student organization at UC Davis dedicated to amplifying the stories and research of scientists from underrepresented backgrounds. Each year, we host an annual SOMA Summit, a day-long event focused on pertinent issues affecting underrepresented scholars. Our theme this year is Towards a Safe and Equitable Graduate Work environment. Invited speakers include representatives of Student Researchers United (SRU), students in leadership positions who advocate for student rights, and interactive panels and discussions. We invite all attendees to also join us for lunch (12:20) and a reception (4:10) where drinks and refreshments will be provided. Please join us as your schedule allows! This event is open to the entire campus community.<h3>SOMA Summit Agenda (Center for Neuroscience, Rm113)</h3>11:00	Opening Remarks			11:20	Talk 1	 Kavitha Iyengar PhD Candidate, Jurisprudence and Social Policy, UC Berkeley School of Law12:00	Discussion 112:20	Lunch (Outdoors: Grassy Knoll)13:20	Panel: Neuroscience Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Mentoring Committee Verónica Martínez Cerdeño Professor, Institute for Pediatric Regenerative Medicine Elva Diaz Professor, Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine Department Chair, Neuroscience Graduate Group Gene Gurkoff Associate Professor, Neurological Surgery Ron Mangun Distinguished Professor, Psychology, Neurology Director, Center for Mind and Brain14:00	Talk 2 Adilene Bernal Sánchez PhD Candidate, Organic Chemistry Board Member, Chancellor&#x27;s Graduate &amp; Professional Student Advisory Board14:30	Discussion 214:50	Quick Break15:00	Talk 3	 Aarthi Sekar PhD Candidate, Interated Genetics and Genomics Representative, Student Researchers United-UAW Ximena Anleu Gil PhD Candidate, Plant Biology Representative, Student Researchers United-UAW15:30	Coffee Break &amp; Round Table	16:00	Discuss Action Items &amp; Closing Remarks		16:10	Reception &amp; Social (Outdoors: Grassy Knoll)
