Understanding Ethnic Diversity in US Science

18 May 2022 | 10:00AM (EDT)

The UN's Sustainable Development Goals stress the need for gender equality and reducing inequalities more generally. As the scientific endeavor works toward solving these goals, it is particularly important that the workforce represents all ethnicities, and that authors from diverse backgrounds are represented in scholarly publishing in order to reduce inherent biases and enable a complete and global picture of the challenges we face. With the increasing awareness of minority representation in science, many funders now have explicit guidelines for funding to create programs promoting participation across ethnic groups.

In the upcoming webinar, it will discuss the findings of the latest insights paper: Ethnic Diversity in STEM in the U.S., and examine the issue of diversity in the authorship of scientific publishing in the U.S.
