Our outreach

Our outreach activities provide a more inclusive and collaborative way for scientists, educators, policymakers, and wider society to engage with scientific research.

Diversity and Inclusion

The global anti-racism protests triggered a demand for action not only in society at large, but also in science and the institutions associated with science. In response, we embarked on several editorial projects in 2020, highlighting research around revealing and reducing racial inequality, and promoting scientists of Black, Asian and ethnic minority groups.
