Elevate, don’t assimilate, to revolutionize the experience of scientists who are Black, Indigenous and people of colour

You are welcome here: A practical guide to diversity, equity, and inclusion for undergraduates embarking on an ecological research experience

“…(2020), Demery and Pipkin (2020), Halsey et al. (2020), Marín‐Spiotta et al. (2020), and Tseng et al.…”

“…Second, its pervasiveness means imposter syndrome is ripe for discussion with your peers and lab group. Feel free to ask a graduate student and/or your project mentor, “Do you ever struggle with imposter syndrome?” Third, build a real‐life and virtual community of support (check Table 1B and 1C for some groups and organizations) (Halsey et al., 2020; Tseng et al., 2020). Also, know that failure is a necessary element to discovery and an excellent teacher.…”

The Ecology Underground coalition: building a collaborative future of belowground ecology and ecologists

“…Recent efforts towards promoting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in STEM include: (1) encouraging the scientific community to build anti‐racist labs (Chaudhary & Berhe, 2020); (2) promoting Black excellence in ecology and evolution (Schell et al ., 2020); (3) helping BIPOC students to engage in conservation science (Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program at the University of Washington); and (4) supporting scientists who self‐identify as women of color and work in ecology, evolutionary biology or allied fields (e.g. WOCinEEB slack online community, created by Bala Chaudhary, wocineeb@gmail.com; or Halsey et al ., 2020). These efforts are necessary because BIPOC are underrepresented in environmental fields worldwide (e.g.…”

Introduction to the special issue–Beyond CTMAXand CTMIN: Advances in studying the thermal limits of reptiles and amphibians

“…We believe firmly that conducting the best possible science requires a diversity of approaches and perspectives (Haines et al, 2020; Halsey et al, 2020; Nielsen et al, 2017). The fields of thermal biology and herpetology have been dominated by Western male voices since their inception.…”
