Spotlight Videos—an initiative of the CSC’s Working for Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity (WIDE) Committee—shines a light on chemists from diverse backgrounds and creates opportunities for increased representation of diverse researchers and scientists. Each month, CIC News highlights one researcher from the Spotlight Videos library.
Emily Devereux is a research technologist at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. Emily’s environmental research aims to remediate oil sand tailing waste and return it back to natural landscape so that it is safe for humans and animals.
In this WIDE Spotlight Video, Emily describes their diverse background in Arts and Sciences, and highlights the importance of representation in STEM, and integration of EDI principles in STEM workplaces.
