Scientific communities lack diversity and equitable and inclusive practices. Underrepresented minorities are disproportionally discriminated against, leading to low retention in the academic pipeline. “Diversity” encompasses an intersectional array of identities; studies show having a diverse research group leads to better science. To address structural issues, author Iwasaki recommends institutional reforms to diversity training, hiring practices, mentorship, and the culture of academia itself.
