About

Join us for a talk by Megan Coles around LGTBQ+ Stories in STEM. Megan (she/her) is a Clinical Microbiologist in training at Berkshire and Surrey Pathology Services NHS and alumnus of the University of Exeter. She is queer, neurodivergent, and disabled, and is an advocate for access and improvement to mental health and disability services. Her work involves being a committee member for a national disability in STEM network, providing social spaces and events for the NHS LGBTQ+ group in her trust, and volunteering for mental health listening services including Nightline. She is also undertaking a Master’s degree at Queen Mary University of London alongside her volunteering and employment. When she is not in the lab, she will be found walking her dog, swimming in the sea, or spending time with her girlfriend (and occasionally all three at once!). She has been promoting accessibility and inclusivity within all aspects of her life and work since she was a student at Exeter, and is known for being warm and friendly. The venue is wheelchair accessible, has access to basic seating, an accessible toilet and designated quiet space. There is car parking available next to the venue, including blue badge parking. If you have any questions about this event, please get in touch by dropping us a message on social media or emailing us via [email protected].
