On 12th January, Darren Smyth from our IP Out Committee will be addressing an LGBTSTEMinar in York.
In a recent tweet, Darren reminded us that “When I was a chemistry student at Oxford University 1988-1996 in my entire time I was only aware of two other out LGBT chemists“. He said he is “thrilled and delighted“, not only to be attending #LGBTSTEMinar for the second time, but also to be presenting there on the pregabalin litigation.

​For the last LGBTSTEMinar, Darren created and displayed a poster about the work of IP Out, and we’re fantastically pleased that he’ll be doing the same this time. Here’s a sneak preview:

The LGBT STEMinar is a one-day research meeting for people who work or study in STEM subjects and identify as LGBT+. Straight allies are also welcome. The event is free and you can find out more here.
Good luck Darren – we’ll be thinking of you!
