Great Rainbow 'Bake off'

A day of pride at Hudson Institute

Hudson Institute is rich in its diversity. Our researchers bring a broad range of perspectives that spark ideas that help us answer important questions.

LGBT STEM Day is on Friday, 5 July and we’re proud to acknowledge and celebrate with our LGBTIQ+ among us.  

This international day is an opportunity to celebrate diversity, improve visibility and support our community. Hudson Institute is marking the day one day earlier on Thursday, 4 July.

Great Rainbow 'Bake off'

To celebrate, Hudson Institute will hold a LGBT STEM Day Rainbow 'Bake off'. Everyone is welcome to show their support, bake their favourite treats and join in the fun.

In support of the day our Hudson Institute logo will turn rainbow coloured!  Watch out for it and show your support by liking the temporary logo on our Facebook page. You can also tag your own images on social media with #LGBTSTEMDay and Hudson_Research.

Erin McGillick, part of the organising committee: “The aim of LGBT STEM day is to celebrate the wonderful diversity of people, their identities and backgrounds. It’s a fantastic opportunity to foster an environment that promotes acceptance and inclusivity for the LGBTIQ+ community, where everyone feels supported and can be comfortable to be their authentic self both personally as well as professionally.”

An open invitation

Staff are invited to apply their scientific prowess to making baked goods and to take part in the 2019 LGBT STEM Rainbow Day 'Bake off'. To participate, please contact e: beth.allison@hudson.org.au.  Everyone will get to enjoy the results of their colourful labour!

Whether you identify as LGBTIQ+, or want to support and champion diversity, you are invited to attend the celebration right after our mid-year staff meeting on Thursday, July 4 at 1pm - 2pm in the MMC Lecture Theatre 1 Foyer.
