Staff and students from across all four campuses of the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine celebrated LGBT STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) day on 5 July 2019. Inspired by Pride in STEM, a charitable trust run by an independent group of LGBT+ scientists & engineers from around the world, staff and students were invited to upload an image of themselves or their team to social media and recognise the contribution of LGBT+ people at the University in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. LGBT STEM day raises the visibility of LGBT+ people and contributes to the global push for increased diversity and inclusion in STEM. Many staff and students chose to be involved and contributed heartfelt messages of support for LGBT+ people and allies in STEM subjects.
