Organized by Willow Coyote-Maestas in collaboration with students, faculty, and staff from across the country, QBI presents the 4th “Full Circle of Native and Indigenous Scientists in Biology” symposium on May 6 and 7, 2027.
The symposium will highlight Native and Indigenous scientists across the United States, and provide them with professional development and community building opportunities. Our goal is to build a welcoming community of Native scientists at UCSF. This event represents the full circle of career stages for Native scientists, including learners, faculty, and faculty emeritus.
The symposium will take place over two days at the UCSF Mission Bay campus in San Francisco. It will include scientific talks from students, postdocs, and faculty as well as panel discussions on Native and Indigenous topics. We welcome everyone to take part in the event.
