Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Microbial Sciences—the Texas Perspective

The way that diversity, equity, and inclusion impact scientific careers varies for everyone, but it is evident that institutions providing an environment where being different or having differences creates a sense of being welcomed, supported, and valued are beneficial to the scientific community a...
