Public Lecture: Radical Chemistry: A Case for LGBTQ+ Visibility in STEM
Tehshik Yoon served as the guest editor for the C&EN 2022 Trailblazers issue celebrating LGBTQ+ chemists. He wrote that he is often questioned as to why there is a need to spotlight LGBTQ+ scientists. He said that the focus is “warranted, timely, and critically necessary.”
Professor Yoon uses his own story and the stories of others, along with facts and data (the tools of scientists), to “paint … a picture of the current landscape facing LGBTQ+ people in the US,” and to “make a strong argument for the power of LGBTQ+ representation in chemistry.”
