honoraria for our conference speakers. We believe that if we want to make progress in creating more diverse, inclusive, and equitable (DEI) spaces in science we need to elevate the people that offer knowledge, experience, and skills in these areas, as well
as offset some of the negatives of working in DEI (emotional labor, and academic penalties) by compensating people for DEI labor.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">The Mission of the iDigTRIO Biology Career Conference is to provide opportunities to explore careers and graduate programs in the biological sciences to first generation, limited
income, and underrepresented students (Black, Latinx, Indigenous, other students of color, and students with disabilities). Through intentional programming and networking, we seek to support our future leaders in science and build a sense of community for
their academic, personal, and professional journeys. As the name suggests, iDigTRIO is targeted to TRIO program students but all high school and undergraduate students are welcome.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>

Murray, Molly Phillips, and Adania Flemming). This is a completely free event taking place the week of February 21st 2022, that includes career shadowing and mentoring, an opportunities fair on the University of Florida Campus, and a 3-day virtual conference.
