QBI presents the third "Full Circle of Native and Indigenous Scientists in Biology" symposium on April 3-4, 2025, organized by Willow Coyote-Maestas and team. The goal of the “Full Circle” symposium is to create an opportunity for North American Native and Indigenous, Native Hawaiian, and Alaska Native scientists to share their research, meet other scientists, and build community. Our program will feature talks from students, postdocs, and faculty, along with panel discussions exploring Native and Indigenous topics in the context of research.
