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:

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.
