Listen to the 2016 Diversity Lecture

About Diversity Lecture

The QBI Diversity Lecture forms part of UQ’s Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) initiative to highlight issues of diversity to members of the University and wider community. QBI is proud of its culturally diverse workplace: up to two-thirds of our staff were born outside Australia; almost half are international scientists working on visas, who were enticed from across the globe by QBI’s reputation for excellence; and just under half are women.

The Diversity Lecture is a new initiative of Professor Pankaj Sah.
