ReMix Science and Care

ReMix Science and Care is beginning its microgrant work with a focused conference-access initiative.

This fall, one of our first efforts will support Pitt bioengineering students attending the BMES Annual Meeting, while laying the foundation for broader student support across STEM, healthcare, and related fields.

This is where we are beginning, not where we are ending.

ReMix’s larger vision is to expand access to academic, professional, and career-building opportunities for students who are talented, driven, and full of potential, but who may face financial or structural barriers along the way.

For many students, attending a national conference can be a formative experience. It can provide exposure to research, mentorship, networking, graduate and career pathways, and a stronger sense of belonging within the field.

But conference-related costs can add up quickly.

Donations to ReMix Science and Care will support this initiative by helping reduce expenses such as travel, lodging, registration, meals, transportation, and other professional development needs.

Your support helps students access career-shaping spaces with greater confidence and support. It also helps ReMix build thoughtfully toward broader microgrant programming in the future.

Support ReMix Science and Care ReMix Science and Care provides microgrants, mentorship, and healing-centered support for underrepresented students in STEM and healthcare.

Sometimes the smallest awards say the biggest things. 🏆

ReMix Science and Care founder Skye Clayton recently completed Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science HCOP, Health Careers Opportunity Program, and received two peer-voted awards: Most Likely to Ask Questions and Most Likely to Have the Most Impact on the Community.

These awards reflect the heart behind ReMix: curiosity, advocacy, community impact, and a commitment to paying it forward.

Skye founded ReMix to support underrepresented students in STEM and healthcare through microgrants, mentorship, and community-centered resources. That same commitment is shared by our board members and team, including Hannah, Alanni, CiArra Robinson, and Erica.

ReMix is not being built for performance. It is being built for people. 💙

April was a deeply meaningful month for ReMix Science and Care. 💙

Last month included two especially personal dates for our founder, Skye: April 12, the anniversary of Ryan’s passing, and April 20, Skye’s birthday. Throughout April, Skye matched donations made to ReMix Science and Care, with additional matching around those two meaningful days.

Because of support received throughout the campaign, including the generosity shown in April, ReMix Science and Care is now at 39% of our $5,000 goal.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has donated, shared our posts, encouraged us, and believed in this mission since this campaign began. Every gift and every share helps us continue building ReMix Science and Care into something sustainable, thoughtful, and impactful for underrepresented students in STEM and healthcare.

Funds raised through this campaign are helping us build the foundation for ReMix’s work and will support our Fall 2026 pilot microgrant program. That pilot will allow us to begin offering practical, student-centered support for barriers such as test fees, academic materials, technology access, emergency needs, and other costs that too often determine who gets to continue and who is forced to pause.

Thank you for helping us turn grief into growth, loss into legacy, and purpose into action. This is how community impact begins, one gift, one share, one conversation at a time.

Happy 29th birthday to CiArra Robinson, our Director of Outreach and Impact! 🎉💙

CiArra’s commitment to community-centered work has shaped her path for more than a decade. She has worked and volunteered in nonprofit spaces focused on reproductive health, LGBTQ+ advocacy, community activism, and food insecurity, and she currently serves as a Partner Relations Coordinator at Capital Area Food Bank serving the DMV metropolitan area.

Her passion for equity and community is deeply personal. CiArra believes that financial hardship should not prevent anyone from pursuing their dreams, and that education and collective support can help build a better future for those who have not always been given the strongest starting point.

At ReMix Science and Care, CiArra brings thoughtful leadership, compassion, and a deep belief in the power of community. We are incredibly grateful to have her as part of this work.

Please join us in wishing CiArra a very happy 29th birthday.
