The ACID:BASE club hosted an exciting seminar for National Chemistry Week on October 16, 2023. Two leading Canadian EDI scholars in Chemistry, Dr. Stephanie MacQuarrie and Dr. Tricia Carmichael, spoke on their experiences in the field. We were educated on Dr. Carmichaels efforts in promoting LGBTQIA+ inclusion in Chemistry, as well as what it means to be successful, and how we can redefine success to promote a healthy work-life balance. Dr. MacQuarrie shared her experiences in growing up in a rural community, and how that has shaped her efforts in establishing rural outreach programs to students without access to scientific resources, in addition to promoting people with children in STEM.


We want to extend our deepest gratitude for their excellent presentations, and look forward to hearing about more of their successes and initiatives in the future.


Happy National Chemistry Week!

ACID:BASE acknowledges the traditional lands and territories of the Indigenous peoples who have lived on these lands and taken care of them since time immemorial. University of Lethbridge is situated on Treaty 7 territory – the traditional and ancestral territory of Siksikaitsitapi – the Blackfoot Confederacy, which includes the Kainai Nation, Piikani Nation, Amskapi Piikani, and the Siksika Nation. Treaty 7 is also home to the Tsuut’ina Nation, the Stoney Nakoda, and is within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland known as the Battle River Territory. We acknowledge and give gratitude to the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We acknowledge the Traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders, both past and present, and are grateful for their contributions that helped keep this land beautiful. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation.
