DiversifyChemistry.com
I created DiversifyChemistry.com because I wanted to bring visibility to those from underrepresented groups in the academic chemistry community.
Diversify Chemistry in the news:
- Directory of academic chemists from underrepresented groups aims to inject diversity into conferences, job searches, and awards
- Database seeking to help to diversify chemistry gathers pace
- Grassroots initiatives and larger projects are both vital weapons in the battle for equality
- How scientists are fighting against gender bias in conference speaker lineups
- Professor builds network of underrepresented chemists in Diversify Chemistry
Must reads on diversity in science:

It's #LGBTQSTEMDay! Check out this hashtag to find some amazing LGBTQ chemists (and other types of scientists) on Twitter. https://t.co/vqegXA3awO
Second exciting announcement of the day - RedBubble has improved their mask design. Now, it's fitted. I've enabled it for all the "you are welcome here" periodic table PRIDE flag designs. Again, sold at cost with no profit. https://t.co/uD8R4YlKwa
Excited to announce that you can now get *all* the "you are welcome here" periodic table PRIDE flag designs now on *buttons* - sold on RedBubble and at cost (no profit). https://t.co/m2FP2F5icE
#DiversifyChem365 #198 is Prof. Luis Campos ( @SomosCampos) from @ChemColumbia. The Campos group recently reported how the choice of aromatic bridges can enhance chromophore–chromophore electronic coupling in intramolecular singlet fission materials. https://t.co/ReyMt7KSkv https://t.co/HBNjnNxq3A

Chemistry LGBTQ+ Logo
Working with University of Michigan artist/illustrator John Megahan, we created these periodic table images to increase visibility of LGBTQ chemists in the community and help promote a more welcoming atmosphere.

LGBTQ+ Role Models in Science
Made by Joby Razzell Hollis for @LGBT_Physics and sponsored by the Institute of Physics.
Science is for everyone, and should be accessible to anyone, and becoming a scientist can seem intimidating.
Nothing is more reassuring than seeing someone like you, or who you feel a connection to, has gone before and made a success of it.
