Scientific Diversity Association


The Scientific Diversity Association (SDA) is a supportive community of scientists historically excluded from academia, generally, and STEM, specifically. Together, we work to advocate for increased recruitment, retention and promotion of under-represented minorities (URMs), international students, and other marginalized groups.

We welcome all members of the Scripps Research community (e.g. graduate students, postdocs, non-research staff, etc.) to join our general monthly meetings and events.

To stay connected and up-to-date on all SDA meetings/events, please join our email list or connect with us on Instagram or Twitter.

Notice: Campus interest groups are independent entities and are not official units of Scripps Research. Therefore, Scripps Research is not responsible for the acts or omissions of or views and opinions expressed by campus interest groups and/or any members/persons acting on behalf of the groups.
