Everyone belongs in the chemical sciences
Speaking up to make our workplaces more inclusive
The Royal Society of Chemistry recently launched a discussion series entitled Taboos and tricky topics; and for a profession predicated on asking difficult questions, we certainly have plenty of these. The series started with discussing how working towards an inclusive science culture was not seen as part of a job in the chemical sciences and could even be harmful to career progression. This is not only worrying but highlights the misconception that inclusion is all about campaigns and posters.
