The North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee (NAASC) is committed to promoting a global plant sciences community that reflects the true diversity of all its members. To further this mission, members of the NAASC Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Committee (Dr Elizabeth Haswell , Dr Joanna Friesner , and Dr Jennifer Nemhauser) have created the DiversifyPlantSci online resource , a list of plant scientists that are members of under-represented groups, that may have been minoritized, in plant science to reference as you seek speakers, reviewers, and participants for career or mentorship opportunities. We hope to increase diversity and inclusion by making it easy to expand invitations past one’s personal networks.
