UC’s queer climate scientists: Making science as diverse as the natural world
While we may honor Pride in June, nature is celebrating all the time — as science increasingly shows, the natural world is a nonstop riot of identities, fluidity and adaptation, with diverse relationships we are only beginning to understand. For many LGBTQ scientists, the diversity and resiliency of the world they study provides inspiration all year long; it’s even prompted the growth of an emerging field, queer ecology.
