U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine: Sweeping report calls for anti-bias measures in US science. Really!

Very disturbing when propaganda and demagoguery are spread by such organisations!

This propaganda and demagoguery was echoed by the Nature journal!

Keep in mind that NASEM is not some fringe organisation disseminating irrelevant stuff that no one pays attention to!

"Universities and other employers in the US science sector must adopt practices that foster a safe and inclusive community, finds a report from the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), which outlines how such institutions can do so. The report calls for systemic change across multiple levels to account for the lengthy history of discrimination against people of colour and members of marginalized communities in the United States. ..."

From the description of the report:
"Individuals from minoritized racial and ethnic groups continue to face systemic barriers that impede their ability to access, persist, and thrive in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) higher education and workforce. Without actively dismantling policies and practices that disadvantage people from minoritized groups, STEMM organizations stand to lose much needed talent and innovation as well as the ideas that come from having a diverse workforce. ..."

Sweeping report calls for anti-bias measures in US science: Universities and science employers must adopt practices to diversify their research workforce and move beyond simply hiring members of under-represented groups, finds the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
