E&O Spotlight: Meet Dr. Kellum Tate-Jones, founder of Refugium LLC

Through ecosystem-based models and storytelling, Dr. Tate-Jones aims to facilitate authentic human connection that promotes inclusivity and equity within the scientific community.

During this time, however, she came to realize that much of the way the field functioned seemed to be determined by systems of oppression rather than the science itself.
