This month's member spotlight is Manuel Leal, professor of biological sciences and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Missouri in the Life Sciences discipline. Manuel was noticed for both his studies and how he overcomes obstacles through chaneling the strengths of his culture: "Dr. Manuel Leal has made experimental and theoretical contributions to evolutionary and behavioral studies of species diversity among West Indian anoles. He is passionate about sharing his remarkable journey as a first-generation Puerto Rican pursuing a PhD in science. His emphasis is not on the challenges he and his family had to overcome but on the assets/strengths his culture and experience bring to his scientific approaches and work. He recently shared his story at an inaugural ceremony, “Orgullo Latine: Honoring our graduates,” hosted by Mizzou SACNAS at the University of Missouri. Nominate a SACNISTA you think is outstanding today and they could be featured on the SACNAS social media accounts! 📸 🔗https://hubs.la/Q02KvRbk0 #SACNISTA #MemberSpotlight #SACNAS #Innovation
