STPF Affinity Group: STEAM TeamThe AAAS Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) Team aims to enhance the development of fellows and their communities by encouraging a multi-directional exchange of values and ideas between fellows, the general population, and groups traditionally underrepresented in STEAM. To accomplish this task, the AAAS STEAM Team fellows have established three primary tenets: mentoring at K-12 schools, catalyzing diversity and inclusion with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and improving the communication and community engagement skills of participating fellows. The ultimate goal of the AAAS STEAM Team is to enable fellows, the general population, and groups traditionally underrepresented in STEAM to participate and feel a sense of belonging in the narrative and process of science. |

STPF Affinity Group: Science and Technology Studies (STS)Science and Technology Studies (STS) looks to enrich our understanding of science policy and communication of the complexity of the place of science in society. This is a theoretical and applied field that explores the coproduction of science, technology, and society. STS views all scientific knowledge as socially embedded, and considers technologies in their social, political, and material context. |

SPRQLE members gather at monthly meet-ups, both virtual and in-person as conditions allow, and the group plans to offer informal networking with both early-career and established LGBTIQ professionals outside of AAAS STPF. All members of the LGBTIQ community are welcome — prospective SPRQLErs can email the co-chairs Michael Bellecourt (bellecourtm@gmail.com) and Nathan Boyd (nhboyd1@gmail.com) to join the group and receive event invitations. |

STPF Affinity Group: One HealthThe One Health Affinity Group (formerly Global Health) strives to advance the understanding and integration of the ways that human, animal, and environmental health are interconnected. According to the Quadripartite (WHO, FAO, WOAH, UNEP), “One Health is a collaborative, transdisciplinary approach that recognizes the interdependence among the health of ecosystems, wild and domestic animals, and humans to achieve resilient and sustainable outcomes across complex systems from local to global levels.” Our group feels strongly that many of the problems facing us today can and should be approached from a One Health perspective. We aim to facilitate conversations that cross sectors and allow collaborations between groups that might not otherwise have thought to work together. |
