Social science research has demonstrated that the human brain has evolved a strong ability to recognize and react to information but a fairly poor ability to recall information from memory.
Other studies have shown that a more diverse group is generated when candidates are identified from a list, rather than selecting based purely on recall.
The DiversifyChem site aims to help symposium organizers, award committees, search committees, etc. identify chemists who might diversify their pool.
Inspired by Anne’s leadership in developing DiversifyChem.com we have added sections to include industrial chemists as well as graduate students/post docs. We hope the expanded site continues to provide a valuable resource for academic and industry chemists alike as we work together to counter bias and embrace diversity.

I created this resource because I wanted to bring visibility to those from underrepresented groups in the academic chemistry community.
