Look at the stars Thursday night at the Stellar Queer Science event, an event co-hosted between oSTEMM+ and the Pride Alliance, two LGBTQIA+ student organizations on campus. 

The event will be held in B54 Physics Hall from 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday night. It is an RSVP-only event with about thirty seats available. To RSVP, go to the ISU oSTEM facebook page and use the link.

“Learn about the night sky, the solar system and cosmos around us, and do it with Pride while celebrating the invaluable work of the queer scientists who came before us,” according to the oSTEM Facebook page.

The oSTEM Facebook page also stated that there will be an overflow space with card and board games for those who do not get seats in the main event.

“This event is important because it is raising awareness of and showing that people with queer identities have been making contributions. That [people with queer identities making contributions] is not suddenly just a thing,” said Trinity Dearborn, junior in Women’s and Gender studies and vice president of Pride Alliance.

“People with queer identities have been around as long as humanity has been around and I think its really cool for people to learn about and see the history,” Dearborn said.

Dearborn said the event is open to anyone interested in LGBTQIA+ history.
