Last week, our lab hosted Dr. Charles “Chuck” Barber, the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the Department of the U.S. Navy, before he gave a TED Talk at Case Western Reserve. It was really neat to meet someone with so much experience and influence. We talked about science, career aspirations, and life goals.
