Gina Baucom and Meghan Duffy noted and lamented the lack of female scientist getting the big ecology and evolution awards.
And then they decided to do something about it.
I give you DiversifyEEB, a list of female and/or underrepresented minority researchers in Ecology and Evolution. The idea is to have a go to list of minorities in the scientific community who are willing to give a talk at conferences or seminar series. So if you’re organizing a conference and thinking “How can I make my invited speakers more diverse?”, consult this list. There is now a way.
Go read all about the motivation and the list itself over at Dynamic Ecology.
