Are you a biologist who studies the diversity of sex, gender, and sexualities in nature? Does your work explore inclusive and accurate ways to teach about these subjects? Are you thinking about attending the Evolution 2022 meeting [1] in Cleveland, OH, USA?

The organizers are seeking 3-4 evolutionary biologists to give short, engaging, general audience talks (akin to a TED talk) at an LGBTQ+ event called "Evolution's Rainbow" at this year’s Evolution conference. The event will also include a panel Q&A session with our presenters. Our aim is to create a light-hearted and informative evening that inspires curiosity and facilitates dialogue on the exceptional diversity of sex, gender, and sexualities in nature. We are particularly excited to hear from a diversity of voices and encourage applications from speakers from historically excluded groups. This event will be open to all Evolution goers and the general public. Proceeds from the evening will be donated to the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland [2].

To apply, please send a 150-200 word brief pitch for your talk to diversity@evolutionsociety.org by April 29, 2022.
