Mentoring to Inspire Diversity in Science (MInDS) is a group of students and post-docs in the Cell, Molecular, Developmental Biology & Biophysics graduate programs that promotes diversity in science by fostering graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in their career development and encouraging K-12 and undergraduate students to pursue a career in science. MInDS is engaged in many different activities in the community, on campus, and here in the Biology department.
MInDS works with Faculty and Administration to develop effective strategies to identify, recruit, retain and support underrepresented groups in an effort to diversify Johns Hopkins University's CMDB graduate program.
Through mentorship, networking, and improving community awareness, MInDs contributes to the universal effort to diversify academic researchers at colleges and universities nationwide.
MInDS membership is open to any and all with the same goal.
