Rethinking Laboratories for Inclusion and Equity

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the laboratory environment are vital for the advancement of science and a more equitable society.

As a result, research is often focused on those individuals, missing either the perspective of diverse peoples or the richer data they would impart. Welcoming women, people of color, disabled persons, and diverse cultures, religions, and creeds will expand the realm of discovery. The results of that science will be more valuable and efficient for the diverse world we live in. The benefits are economic as well as social.

There are two routes to consider when thinking about building inclusion and equity within science professions at the facilities level - educational and professional.
