+<!--------------- post begins here ----------------->
+
+On behalf of the pharmaverse council, we'd like to introduce you to Laura
+Needleman – an active member of our community who has volunteered to support us
+as a champion around DE&I. All of our efforts to this day have started from the
+ground up with passionate people putting their hands up to make a difference for
+our industry and patients all over the world. Therefore, when Laura identified a
+challenge and stepped forward to help foster solutions, this resonated hugely
+with us as a group that are looking to learn and evolve continually to make a
+positive impact in our scope of open source. Here's some further introduction
+and context from Laura in her own words...
+
+"Over the summer, I approached the pharmaverse council ready to join forces with
+a Diversity Champion proposal in hand. As I walked the council through my
+proposal and thoughts, I believe they saw my passion for equal access and
+representation was burning bright! I was ready to hit the ground running to
+help the community members feel **represented** and **heard** within
+pharmaverse.
+
+I plan to work with the council to not only suggest ways to increase more
+diversity, equity, and inclusion at the top (within the council) and within the
+community but also as an autistic brain ready to pick apart systems and ask the
+questions others might not be asking. If there is one thing autistics hit out
+of the park... it's disrupting groupthink. Do I hear a record scratch every time
+I open my mouth and say something? ...yes ...yes I do...
+
+Jokes aside, one thing that drew my attention to pharmaverse and why I wanted to
+give my time to further DE&I is because I could see the large-scale movement
+that was happening from the energy the pharmaverse platform was creating. The
+increase in R collaboration over the past 4 years in our industry is noticeable
+and palpable even and I believe that movement is in part because of the systems
+and communities built off of the pharmaverse foundation. As an R user myself,
+and as someone in our biometrics clinical reporting community of programmers and
+statisticians, it's a grassroots type space where people are coming with their
+ideas on how to make it better and it grows year by year. Even when that
+feedback is uncomfortable to hear, such as gender disparity in the council,
+response and action is taken and that is something I can back and believe in.
+
+As far as my professional background in this space, currently I am the US Policy
+Lead for Astrazeneca's Neurodiversity Employee Resource Group, TH!NK, which is a
+role designed to advocate for neurodivergent employees around accommodations and
+team perceptions as well as contribute to US Policies from a neurodivergent
+perspective. I am also an autistic public advocate in our space of biometrics
+clinical trials where I openly share my experiences in our industry as an
+autistic woman. I have presented topics of Neurodiversity at both PharmaSUG and
+PHUSE and have an active voice on LinkedIn. In addition, in 2022, I was awarded
+Cytel's CEO award for furthering their DE&I mission.
+
+DE&I work is an intentional process that is done consciously and continuously.
+My presence within the pharmaverse council is a relationship and not a solution
+in it of itself. I come to the council as an individual advisor and thus my
+presence within the council does not represent Astrazeneca joining the council.
+Please reach out to me if you'd like to chat about DE&I at pharmaverse, in
+general or on a specific concern! I am listening and I'll work to elevate voices
+that need it. Remember, I'm not perfect, I also have a disability, and I am here
+to do volunteer DE&I work at no cost.
+
+Feel free to reach out via email at any time – [email protected]
+or connect and reach out to me on LinkedIn!"
