 /\n	\n	On March 11th at 6 PM\, co-founder of Broad Science\, Rackeb Tesfaye 
 will discuss how we can dismantle a dominate and marginalizing STEM cultur
 e to make science inclusive. Tesfaye will discuss the importance of using 
 storytelling as an effective tool for engaging broad audiences with scienc
 e and how digital storytelling can be used to empower communities who have
  historically been underrepresented in science narratives.\n	\n	Rackeb Tesfa
 ye is a PhD student in the Program of Integrated Neuroscience at 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Un
 iversity. Her research investigates biological and behavioural factors tha
 t contribute to elevated sleep disturbances in youth with autism. Tesfaye’
 s scientific projects involve analyzing large scale genomic and longitudin
 al sleep data. She also collaborates with researchers and families to deve
 lop novel approaches to include the diversity of perspectives and voices o
 f youth with autism in scientific research. Outside of the lab\, Tesfaye i
 s a science communicator who creates audio stories and is an advocate for 
 diversity and inclusion in STEM. She is the founder and executive producer
  of Broad Science. Rackeb is also a vocal supporter for accessible science
  communication training for graduate students. She currently sits on the o
 rganizing committee for ComSciCon Canada\, the first Canada-wide science c
 ommunication conference for graduate students.\n	\n	Broad Science is a Montr
 eal-Canada based initiative dedicated to making science inclusive\, engagi
 ng\, and intersectional\, through audio storytelling. The overarching aims
  of Broad Science are to provide a platform that makes science accessible 
 to the public\, empower marginalized communities to engage with science\, 
 and encourage socially conscious scientific practices in the next generati
 on of scientists. Broad Science currently has 3 ongoing projects\, includi
 ng an investigative podcast\, storytelling evenings\, and a youth science 
 communication workshop. https://www.broadscience.org\n	\n	This event is part
