    Underrepresented minorities & people of color have contributed so much to science, however, they are not celebrated to the same degree as their white counterparts. We want your input so we can be inclusive and acknowledge their contributions. Who should we include?

    It has been almost 3 years since we were introduced to Cohort 3 of the undergrad SF BUILD Research Scholars Program. We're glad to see the SF State/UCSF partnership has led to full-time opportunities at UCSF for our BUILD Scholars. Marsha is just one example.
