A strong force for inclusion

A woman opens a window from the outside and faces in. She has a brown bob and is wearing dark rectangualr glasses and light-colored earrings. In the background behind her, a starry sky. Waves come out from behind her and enter into the room. On the left, a purple, space-like wave. On the right a rainbow wave and a wave that has stripes the colors of the trans flag, blue, pink and white.

Elena Long’s search for community as a trans scientist put her at the forefront of LGBT+ advocacy in physics.
