Support for Members and Non-Members
While our members are free to use the Slack Channel to seek help, share advice, and swap resources - below are just a few examples of other special interest groups that aim to support underrepresented groups in STEM fields, including their caregivers.
If there are other groups or resources you would like us to promote here, please let us know!
Black Biomechanists Association
