Kaye Husbands Fealing, professor and chair in the Ivan Allen College School of Public Policy, participated in a panel entitled “How to Grow a Scientist” that was held at Brown University on February 15, 2017.

During the panel, Fealing joined research scientists from Johns Hopkins University, Princeton University, and Harvard University in discussing issues around mentorship, sponsorship, and inclusion in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The scholars examined how these factors influence the training of young scientists and the process of building of successful STEM careers.

The panel was held as part of “Celebrating Excellence in Science” a two-day event on diversity in STEM fields held at Brown in commemoration of Black History Month.
