Dr. Troy Roepke, a professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at Rutgers, discusses the role of gender inclusivity in the study of estrogens and reproduction, how being a queer person has impacted their career path in the sciences, and the importance of visibility for LGBTQ+ people and their allies working in STEM and STEM-supporting jobs.
