About This Distinguished Scientist Lecture Series:

Riffyn’s mission is to make science work better by enhancing scientific quality, data sharing, and data reuse. In addition, an aim of Riffyn’s Diversity Program is to highlight individuals in distinguished roles that come from diverse backgrounds in order to inspire and educate our team and our community.

In service of both of these aims, we initiated a Distinguished Lecture Series to honor and highlight the greatest scientific minds from underrepresented social, racial, and ethnic backgrounds, varied places, and diverse experiences.

Co-hosting with Merck, speakers are invited to share their scientific works and social perspectives and to illustrate the positive impacts of science on our lives and our planet.

With this series, we will offer employees, customers, and the general public an opportunity to learn about the latest advances of science and its impact on our lives.
