Same geographic continents are pictured behind logo as background. Poster also has text "A community of Latinx biomedical engineers that connect through scholarship and friendship".

Happily attended #LatinxInBME Symposium. Has been amazing seeing this @latinxinbme.bsky.social community grow under leadership of @brianaguado.bsky.social & @anamaporras.bsky.social. This 1-day event occurs before annual BMES meeting & is inclusive welcoming all such this biochemist 😀. #LatinskySTEM

It’s inspiring to see this community continue to grow, especially since first meeting @anamaporras.bsky.social when we overlapped at Cornell 🐻

Many thanks to the #LatinXinBME leadership and symposium organizers for the kind invitation ☕

I have seen first hand the impact of @brianaguado.bsky.social’s CZI award. We had the freedom to start our in person #LatinXinBME symposia because we know Brian had committed CZI funds for this purpose. Thank you for sharing your story, Brian!
