2022 Digital Data Conference Mentoring Program
Since we are virtual again this year we created a way to digitize some of that organic mentoring magic that happens at every conference through the virtual Digital Data Mentorship Program.

Synopsis of Program:
As the hub for digitization of U.S. natural history collections, iDigBio aims to engage our community in promoting a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and actively anti-racist community. To that end, the iDigBio team focused on issues of Education, Outreach, Diversity, and Inclusion has compiled this reading list to begin conversations in the classroom, in museum collections, and among colleagues.

The 99th Annual Meeting and Centennial Celebration of the American Society of Mammalogists took place 28 June to 2 July 2019, at the birthplace of ASM, Washington, DC. iDigBio helped to mark this important milestone through organizing a session on broadening representation in mammalogy as well organizing the first ever Data Help Desk at ASM.
iDigBio is collaborating with the Florida Museum and the UF Biology Department on a shared exhibit at the 2019 SACNAS - The National Diversity in STEM Conference. Are you going to SACNAS? Come visit us!!

Title: Broadening Participation of People with Disabilities in Science
People with disabilities (PWD) are highly underrepresented in all science fields, but many of the barriers to participation faced by PWD can be removed.
Space for this workshop is limited.
About 50 undergraduates and recent graduates attended the Careers and Graduate Studies in the Biological Sciences workshop in Chicago, 6 September 2014.
