JustGarciaHill.org

JustGarciaHill.org was a social networking website for minority groups in the biological sciences.[1][2] It was a membership-only site and featured elements such as common interest groups for summer undergraduate researchers and a forum for discussing science policy. The website was first launched in the late 1990s and originally grew out of a database that was created for the Coalition for the Advancement of Blacks in Biomedical Sciences, but had grown to encompass all minorities that are considered to be underrepresented in biological sciences.[3] JustGarciaHill.org was run through ScienceJobs.com and was funded by the Clinical and Translational Science Center with additional support from The Center for Study of Gene Structure and Function. The website was quietly shut down at the beginning of 2020 for an unspecified reason.
