DiversiTeas is a speaker series established at Yale to highlight issues of diversity in the STEM fields. The program was created through a joint effort of undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty at Yale. By bringing in scientists, authors, and other experts on issues around diversity we hope to spark meaningful discussions to create a more inclusive environment on campus.
Jeff Hobbs was a Yale undergraduate who published a NY Times best-selling biography in 2014: The short and tragic life of Robert Peace. Robert Peace was a Yale student (‘02 BS, MB&B), African-American, and from Newark with brilliant prospects. At Yale, he was a STEM major (Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry). This book offers an incredible insight into Yale culture. Classmate and friend, Thomas Hocker, will join the discussion.
