Diversity

DiversifyChemistry.com

I created DiversifyChemistry.com (in 2018) because I wanted to bring visibility to those from underrepresented groups in the chemistry community. I am incredibly grateful to Merck for funding the expansion of this site (in 2021) to include graduate students & postdocs as well as industrial chemists.

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:

• How the entire scientific community can confront gender bias in the workplace

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. To download the high-resolution image, contact Anne via email for the link and password.
