It's LGBTQ+ history month, and there's lots going on around the country to celebrate. And there's still time to vote in the British LGBT awards.
Josephine and Sabrina are joined by three guests from Magenta, to talk about the unbelievable work they have been doing for years in inclusion and diversity. Not only within research, but to push the boundaries within the workplace itself. Lucy introduces us to bioinspired business, a unique and circular focused approach to business and we hear how these practices are being put into place across the business.
Our second guest is John Bizzell, who co-founded MRSpride with Michael Brown back in 2018/2019. John tells us all about the origins of the idea, and how proud he is of the impact it has had. A lasting legacy as we wave goodbye to him from MRS, but hopefully not MRSPride.
We cover out #prideofthepods and #mrspride news, including involvement at the upcoming MRS Annual Conference, and the Equality Summit scheduled for later this year. https://www.mrsannualconference.com/
