This month, we've compiled a list of kudos-worthy accomplishments by NM EPSCoR faculty that we missed the first go round. Have something we missed in our previous newsletters and below?

Join our conversation and community building around Native Science, Arts, Culture and Mathematics Education in NM. We will explore questions including: What does it mean to be in STEM?

We are hoping this conversation will lead to networking and collective goal setting to reimagine the future of science in Native Communities.
