Gabrielle Birchak

A lack of diversity and inclusivity can be destructive to schools, universities, and companies. Limited workplaces limit the organizations’ growth and ideas. Alternatively, inclusive workplaces contribute to unlimited growth and unlimited advancements. In this presentation, Gabrielle journeys through history and shows us what the future could look like if organizations implement inclusive programs. Gabrielle provides strategies to help you develop a work and study environment that negates bias, has a larger talent pool, and potentially generates more revenue.

Gabrielle has a diverse background, so it is fitting that she loves to talk about the power of interdisciplinary thinking. Gabrielle inspires her audience to embrace the many experiences around them, taking up studies in areas they never could have imagined. She shows us what a successful team filled with interdisciplinary thinkers could look like and how the classroom, the labs, and the work environment can benefit when everybody brings a new and unique perspective to the table. She provides ideas and strategies to expand one’s intellect and skill sets so that students and employees can bring their best selves to their projects.

As the host of her podcast Math! Science! History! Gabrielle has a unique ability to see how our understanding of science through history has brought us to where we are today and where it can take us tomorrow. She shows us how our critical thinking skills have evolved and can empower us to be more than what our limited minds keep us shackled to. Gabrielle explains how we are all mathematicians, scientists, poets, and valuable humans in society. Finally, she describes how we can best use our precious human experience and well-earned critical thinking skills to forge future paths and join tribal highways.
