CLSI Partners with CSU I-Corps to deliver Bio-Entrepreneurship Workshop aimed at Promoting Inclusion of Underrepresented Populations in the Sciences
The Bio-entrepreneurship Workshop responds to a key finding of the 2016 California Talent Report co-authored by CLSI and the Biocom Institute, which cites concern from life science industry executives about “future talent from groups that are already unrepresented (i.e. African American, Hispanic and female) in STEM fields.” The report goes on to state that “many recognize …that the industry needs to do more to engage these underrepresented populations.” CLSI and the Biocom Institute will help with BIO conference coordination, helping to draw in industry experts and mentors from the California Life Sciences Association (CLSA)’s and Biocom’s member bases as well as CSU I-Corps’ statewide mentor and alumni networks.
