Over the past several weeks, we have witnessed the horror of societal injustice playing out on the national stage. We honor those who had suffered and lost lives at the hands of law enforcement authorities and stand with our brothers and sisters in the Black communities across the country. IPAM is committed to the disenfranchised and the underserved to create a professional and welcoming environment that encourages diversity of experiences of all its participants.

In solidarity with those who seek justice and equality, IPAM will observe the call to #ShutDownStem on Wednesday, June 10, 2020, and suspend all academic and research activities.
