However, these efforts lack a comprehensive, intentional approach, leaving important issues unnoticed or ignored.<\/p>\n<p>This context, and the extra spotlight on global inequities during the COVID-19 pandemic, have led science communication practitioners from around the world to unite in championing race and other aspects of sociocultural inclusion in their field. By addressing these often-overlooked themes, science communicators aim to bring a wider view to discussions about science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) for meaningful and systematic change.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Elizabeth Rasekoala, president of African Gong: The Pan-African Network for the Popularization of Science &amp; Technology and Science Communication, will share practical insights about these themes in a keynote talk on October 20, 2023, as part of the 2023 Inclusive SciComm Symposium.

It&#8217;s easy to forget because our lives get busy with routine. It&#8217;s important to remember to keep our story strong and we can do this by simply listening. Together we will learn to understand the importance of our inner story and how to keep that light glowing within our hearts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Bear Mitchell<\/strong> is a citizen of the Penobscot Nation from Indian Island in Maine.

He has served on numerous museum and educational boards throughout the state with missions based on Maine\u2019s Wabanaki people.<\/p>\n<p>John\u2019s research centers around the history of Native Americans in higher education.&nbsp; He also speaks about Tribal Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in regards to the traditional use of natural methods of surviving in cooperation with the natural world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For 15 years John visited schools in Maine as a Maine Touring Artist delivering an Arts in Education program. During that time, he visited over 150 schools. While working his way through college, he toured with the Native American Storytellers of New England. He presented a traditional and contemporary program in Native American Stories and Song. His singing and storytelling can be heard in many Maine PBS, tribal-sponsored awareness videos, independent film, HBO Lionsgate TV, and many documentaries with topics on Maine\u2019s Native People.<\/p>\n<a class=\"cl-button   prominent\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/W2TL5Y3LkLc\" title=\"\">Watch Now<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Keynotes were recorded and posted on YouTube.
