Passionate volunteers from Bristol Myers Squibb are often out and about in the community promoting the diverse and fascinating careers available within science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). They’re opening eyes, minds and possibilities to those early in their career and students \u2014 some even as young as middle school age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Such was the case recently at a Tomorrow’s Innovators STEM event near the BMS New Jersey campus that was particularly meaningful to Julie Meade, Scientific Writer in Global Scientific & Regulatory Documentation with BMS, and her audience, a group of middle school students with disabilities and allies. Hands-on STEM events like this are examples of BMS’s culture and commitment to inclusion of groups underrepresented in STEM careers.<\/p>\n

Julie is also one of the Communications Leads for the Disability Advancement Workplace Network (DAWN) \u2014 one of BMS\u2019s People Business Resource Groups \u2014 and a co-sponsor of the event. For her, helping kids with disabilities discover a world of possibilities through STEM is very personal.<\/p>\n

She has first-hand experience with the importance of diversity and inclusion in STEM. She has a life-long passion for science with a PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology and a BA in Neuroscience and Behavior. She\u2019s been a scientific communications specialist, volunteer scientific educator and mentor, pharmacology podcaster, medical textbook editor, and an EMT \u2014 all while living with her own cognitive and physical disabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Making Meaningful Connections Through STEM<\/h4>\n

Despite stormy weather and even a nearby power outage the day of the event, it seemed nothing would deter the students from attending. The students met Julie and enthusiastic BMS volunteers, which included scientists and engineers who also openly identified as having disabilities, including those who use mobility aids. From building robots and non-exploding spacesuits to flight testing the perfect paper airplanes, the students learned how, through STEM, they could help build a better world and solve some of science\u2019s most pressing problems.<\/p>\n

After the hands-on activities, our colleagues spoke about what they do at BMS and why. They shared the kinds of meaningful work they\u2019re engaged in, like drug development, covering molecule <\/span>design, data analysis, clinical trials, and even medicine patents. The students got a picture of the various roles at BMS and how having different skills come into play.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the event, the students learned important lessons \u2014 that scientists and engineers have incredibly diverse experiences and backgrounds, and that you can\u2019t let a disability limit your ambitions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe kids had a blast,\u201d said Julie. \u201cWe surveyed them afterwards and they all agreed that it was important for them to see that scientists could really be anyone. The volunteers had a great time, too. It was amazing to see my coworkers come together to help run this, be a real <\/span>presence and be supportive. We are so excited to do more of these types of events.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Discovering the \u201cScience\u201d Behind Career Success<\/h4>\n

In addition to everyday challenges, people with disabilities often face more obstacles when it comes to higher education and career development, particularly in the sciences. And it dissuades many from fulfilling their personal goals. For instance, in the United States 1 in 4 adults of working age has a disability, but only 1 in 9 college graduates has a disability. Of those with PhDs in STEM fields, that gap increases significantly to 1 in 17 graduates having a disability.<\/p>\n

As for Julie\u2019s particular journey, it was through a non-profit that matches recent graduates with disabilities with potential corporate employees that she found her way to BMS. Or rather, BMS found her. Although she didn\u2019t quite envision it going that way when she started out as a student. But at every step, Julie kept applying what she learned and stayed focused on her goals while developing more skills for career success.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a series of coincidences that led to other coincidences and now, I\u2019m here at BMS,\u201d she said. \u201cIn college I took a little bit of everything and wound up completing a degree in neuroscience. I also really enjoyed talking about science, so I started doing science communication \u2014 creating a blog, starting a podcast, interviewing scientists at my university and turning their complex research into stories for a broader audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a stint at the National Institutes of Health working in drug discovery, Julie was awarded a prestigious predoctoral fellowship in Pharmacology and Toxicology at Virginia Commonwealth University, where she studied the side effects of cancer treatments, experimental medicines for depression, complementary and alternative medicines for pain relief, and even the effects of flavorings on alcohol and nicotine consumption.<\/p>\n

Since joining BMS in the fall of 2020, Julie has received numerous awards for her work, as well as a promotion. In addition, she finds the bandwidth in her busy work life to remain active with DAWN, helping advance the group\u2019s mission by creating and sharing stories of support for people with disabilities in the workplace.<\/p>\n

Expanding Our Supportive Culture<\/h4>\n

Just as Julie is dedicated to her role and her work with DAWN, she\u2019s passionate about giving back through outreach programs like the Tomorrow’s Innovators STEM events.<\/span><\/p>\n

She had another great experience at the next Tomorrow’s Innovators STEM event at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, where she partnered <\/span>with the recently established Seattle DAWN chapter. The buzz has helped drum up a lot of support among BMS Seattle, with many among them eager to get involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\u201cBMS Seattle people are taking this idea of inclusivity and outreach very seriously, which I just love,\u201d she said. \u201cIt shows how much my colleagues and BMS are committed to diversity and understanding the importance of being involved and giving back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

DAWN is just one of the ways BMS fosters an inclusive, welcoming culture where diversity is valued, and everyone can be their authentic selves. We\u2019re grateful for people such as Julie and the DAWN volunteers to show us what it means to transform careers as well as lives.\u00a0<\/span>Discover your path to interesting, meaningful, and impactful work here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
