Lewis Wheaton, PhD, is an associate professor of biological sciences and the inaugural Director of Center for Promoting Inclusion and Equity in the Sciences (C-PIES) at Georgia Tech. Dr. Wheaton also serves as an elected member of city council for Smyrna, Ga.

During this discussion, Dr. Wheaton will reflect on the change we can make in science and society (in large and small ways) through individual growth and shared experiences.
