Scaling back DEI programmes and the loss of scientific talent
Nature Cell Biology - Programmes that support diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in science are under attack in the USA. Data indicate that diversity in the scientific workforce increases...
@joann-trejo.bsky.social, @marymunson4.bsky.social and I have a commentary in @natcellbio.nature.com on recent attacks on DEI in biomedical research: "If scientific research, especially biomedical research, is meant to serve everyone, then it requires that everyone has an opportunity to participate"

Back in 2016, freshman college me joined @urichmond.bsky.social βs IQS (Integrated Quantitative Science) program, funded by @hhmi.bsky.social. This was the key experience exposing me to research and lead to me pursuing a PhD. Cutting these programs will make it harder to bring people into science.
