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.
Prof. Lara Mahal, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Glycomics at University of Alberta, evaluates disease-related glycans, and how they can be manipulated to improve human health.
In this WIDE Spotlight Video, Prof. Mahal highlights the importance of mentoring, mindful recruitment, and safe research environment in sciences to support equity, diversity and inclusion.
