Being a scientist is more than conducting research and publishing articles in scientific journals for other scientists to read. It is our job to communicate our findings to the broader public and empower every person with information. Most importantly, it is our job to make the culture of science an inclusive space, where all identities and voices are welcome. As a community, our contributions toward discovery and knowledge is much greater when we have the strength of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
