For many, bridging professional interests and passions outside of work is important and valuable. It’s not uncommon to find memes pasted over desks, fume hoods or lab signs. Some don lab coats and lanyards adorned with stickers and badges. As a member of MilliporeSigma marketing team, Andrew License sees this firsthand. In his day-to-day work, License helps scientists connect with technologies and products that support their work. More recently, he's helping showcase their identities. And he's doing it all using pins. License started hearing from scientists on social media. They liked the pins he designed and loved wearing them at work. Seeing an opportunity to bring that self-expression even further, he started designing and distributing more pins, including identity-based ones, with his colleague Christina Finke. Some recent pins include Black History Month, Women in Science and Pride Month. He’s proud of all the designs so far, but Pride Month is his personal favorite, hands down. He’s incredibly proud to wear it and share it. That’s because for him, the Pride pin is personal. License was, initially, hesitant to share his identity as a gay man with his colleagues. But he’s grateful he did. “At MilliporeSigma, it's the first time in my professional life that I have not had to worry about who I am,” License says. “[Identity-based] pins are one way that we, as a large company, can shout out and acknowledge that scientists have lives and identities outside of their labs” he says. “It’s incredibly rewarding when scientists reach out and say how proud they are to wear their Pride pin at work.” In his day-to-day work, License continues to help scientists showcase their identities and connect with technologies and products that support their work. While it’s always nice to hear directly from scientists he supports, it’s extra special when he can connect with another member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
