The Diversity and Inclusion Task Force presents Pride in STEM, with Dr. John Samuel, Associate Professor at École Supérieure de Chimie Physique Électronique (CPE Lyon) and Associate Researcher at LIRIS Lab.
It can be a challenge showing up with authenticity, but Dr. Samuel mentions we must first come out to ourselves before we can consider being open professionally; yet, no one is obligated to come out at work. Additionally, Dr. Samuel suggests the computing community needs to move beyond seeing everything as 1 and 0, as "life is different than truth tables of logic gates. "
We're sure you will find great insight in this interview and walk away asking how you can move research away from a binary system that leans on a one size fits all model.
