I would like everyone to take some time to learn about why DEIA initiatives are not only beneficial but also NECESSARY in science and medicine. To that end, I will put out some HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING over the next few months. I'm starting with these three in honor of #WomensHistoryMonth.

A quick hit of joy came for me today when I learned that this beautiful book was one of the winners of this year’s Bancroft Prize.

📢 Only one week to go, until we #standupforscience in Philadelphia! 📢

Let’s make it clear there is a large constituency that understands the importance of science in society, that diversity initiatives make science stronger and more accessible, and the critical role played by government funding!
