Recent events and social protests have prompted increased dialog, and rightly so, on the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion in America. It's a big topic that covers multiple segments of society. But this edition of TGen Talks will focus on how diversity relates to the fields of science and medicine.   Our guest this month on TGen Talks is Dr. Joseph Mikhael, professor of Applied Cancer Research and drug discovery at TGen and Chief Medical Officer of the International Myeloma Foundation, or IMF, and a counselor on the Executive Committee of the American Society of Hematology, who shares his insights on the into how we all can become better at embracing and understanding differences that make us unique and the value inherent in assessing our own thoughts and beliefs.   To Dr. Mikhael, it's not just business, it's personal.
